Team
Josh Norman, Director
josh@mogro.net
Josh has been with MoGro for five years. Much of his work is oriented around people: strengthening relationships with our site partners, training site volunteers, and helping to create a team culture that is supportive, fun, and dedicated to those we serve. When possible, he also directs his attention to program evaluation, systems and logistics.
Josh grew up in Albuquerque and has recently returned to New Mexico after being away for about ten years, serving in the Peace Corps in West Africa as an Environmental Education Volunteer and as an Outward Bound Instructor in New York City working with high school students in the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan. Josh lives in Albuquerque with his partner and their dog. They spend their free time cooking, gardening, and exploring, usually following the lead of a nose with a wagging tail.

Shelby Danilowicz, Programs Manager
shelby@mogro.net
Shelby has been with MoGro for three years. She has one foot in operations - sourcing our food and managing the warehouse - and the other in developing and maintaining relationships with local farmers, and supporting our site volunteers each week during distribution.
She moved to Albuquerque from the northeast three years ago. Prior to that she attended college in Nova Scotia and spent the subsequent years working in British Colombia planting trees, farming, and working on a ski patrol. When Shelby isn't working she is usually cooking, reading, or playing in the mountains.

Erik Rott, Operations Manager
erik@mogro.net
Erik started working for MoGro last year after spending the spring volunteering for MoGro as well as other organizations, feeling a call to action to help people in the state that he calls home. He is in charge of anything distribution related- from processing orders to getting the bags to our members, as well as coordinating emergency distributions to NM Pueblos and partner organizations.
With a background in everything from Film & Television to metalworking, Erik enjoys problem solving and working with his hands. Born and raised in Albuquerque, he enjoys exploring the city and the state that raised him on his bicycles, often feeling more at home on two wheels than on four legs.

Sienna Rose Wright, Distribution Associate
sienna@mogro.net
Sienna Rose hails from Silver City in Southwestern New Mexico. She started working for MoGro two years ago as the weekly delivery driver for the Santa Fe Route. She now enjoys her Tuesday afternoons helping fellow staff and volunteers pack the weekly produce shares, an adventure which always proves to be new and exciting.
When she isn't with Mogro, she enjoys her other jobs at Plants of the Southwest and assisting a woman with cooking and gardening. She is passionate about how plants and food can help guide the way forward for the changes we need to make as a society. She likes to spend her free time laughing, hiking with her best friend, Cielo, gardening, and biking. She hopes to soon live in a tiny house that she and her partner recently finished building.

Tina Whitegeese, Community Outreach Coordinator
Tina started volunteering with MoGro as the Food Champion at Santa Fe Indian Hospital in 2018. As a Native person managing type 2 diabetes with diet and exercise, she wanted to help connect her tribal community with healthy produce and get people excited about cooking with local ingredients. Currently, Tina manages distribution, writes grants, and brings new communities and partners into contact with MoGro's work. Tina's passion for her distribution site and knowledge of not-for-profit governance also led her to serve on our board in 2019.
When she's not slinging veggies, you can find Tina enjoying running and hiking trails around Santa Fe and enjoying movies at the local theater.
