Meet the Team
Liz
Chef & founder at Santosha Nutrition, Liz has a passion for plant-based cuisine, regenerative agriculture and fighting food waste. After working in the hospitality industry for almost 10 years, it became clear that Liz needed to become part of the solution instead of the problem. As a chef, Liz works with the community to provide unique, farm-to-table experiences in San Diego. With the goal of spreading sustainability education, Liz founded Sustainability is Sexy in 2021 with the help of a group of local, eco-preneurs. She continues to work as a plant-based chef, focusing on her growing family, and building Sustainability is Sexy’s reach and impact together with the community.

Stephanie
A second generation San Diegan, ‘Recycle Lady', worm mom, food waste fanatic, & reusable cup collector, Stephanie Morris was raised by a family of green thumbs & shamelessly thrifty people. An early respect for nature grew into a passion for sustainable living while earning a degree & teaching credential from San Diego State.
Stephanie diverged from teaching toward a sustainability career in 2020 when she established the sustainability program for a local organic grocery chain. She is a TRUE Zero Waste Advisor and Senior Sustainability Coordinator at WNC, helping commercial properties reach their waste performance potential.
Stephanie finds joy in exploring the wide world of "waste", connecting with nature, and believes everyone is an environmentalist in some shape or form. She can often be found enjoying local food and drink, beach-combing, shopping small, or volunteering with SIS and Encinitas Toastmasters.

Daisy
Growing up in the greater Seattle area, Daisy was always surrounded by nature and environmentally conscious communities. She relocated to SoCal for work back in 2019 and realized that not all cities put such care and attention towards the planet. Since then, she has been leading her company's regional Eco employee resource group - organizing volunteer events, distributing grants to nonprofit partners, and hosting/organizing educational events for coworkers in the LA/OC/SD areas. She also sits on the leadership team for the San Diego chapter of Seed Consulting Group, a volunteer-run nonprofit that offers pro bono consulting services to environmentally focused groups. She currently works as a Management Consultant and hopes to continue to help others realize the importance of protecting our planet. In her free time, she loves to travel, cook/bake, and be active - whether it's jiu jitsu, running, bouldering, or throwing the ball for her two fur babies.
Kelsey
Kelsey Corbran is a sustainability professional, nature lover, and big believer in the power of individual action to help the planet. She has 5 years of experience in environmental and sustainability roles at non-profit organizations, with a focus on waste reduction/diversion and environmental program development. In her free time, you'll find her hiking a local trail with her dog Paradise, cooking up plant-based meals, making pottery, and traveling. She’s excited to support SIS to help spark change!
