Anitra Conover

Anitra is a Project Associate and Ruckelshaus Fellow in Meridian’s Washington, DC office. Her passion for food security and agriculture led her to work on both domestic and international projects. Her work with AGree supports data-driven public policy regarding the management of crop insurance, agricultural loans, and USDA conservation programs.

Before joining Meridian, Anitra supported agriculture programs for resettled refugees in the state of Vermont and researched how local food programs could be revised to better meet new Americans’ food needs. At the University of Vermont, Anitra served on the Socially Responsible Investing Advisory Council and evaluated a pandemic food relief program for Spanish-speaking farmworkers in Vermont’s northeastern counties.

Anitra lives in Northern Virginia where she figure skates at the Medstar Capitals Iceplex. In her free time, she explores DC’s many museums and trains for her next skating showcase.
