Tess Conley (she/her)
Pantry Coordinator
Tess first started working in food banking in 2021 and knew right away that this was the field for her. When she came to PSU, Tess was excited to be able to help provide food to college students and work towards food security for all. She finds community in food, whether it takes the form of sharing a meal together, passing on recipes or helping to keep the pantry shelves stocked. When Tess isn’t in the pantry, you can find her baking, crafting in the sun or doting upon her cats, Pudding and Lottie.
Outreach Coordinator
Xander is a graduate student and, like Mason, is studying public administration. They started as a shift lead and soon became the outreach coordinator due to their experience in event coordination and having a passion for creating meaningful, intentional programming. Their favorite part of working in the pantry is being able to come up with and execute new ideas, like starting our recipe kit program! In their person life they enjoy spending time with family, photographing their cats, Juliet and Garçon, and binge watching a show.
Special Projects Coordinator
Mason is a graduate student studying public administration. With a passion for volunteer work, they started as a volunteer with the food pantry, then a shift lead, and has since transitioned into the role of Special Projects Coordinator. Mason believes the Food Pantry is an essential part of the PSU community and they love being a part of the Pantry Team. Their favorite part of the job is making connections with the staff, volunteers, and members of the community.
