She led UBC’s Global Seminar Series International Studies in Sustainable Agriculture Cuba from 2005 - 2017 and, since 1999, has taken just under 1,000 Canadian farmers, chefs and culinary students to Cuba to understand better what is happening in this tiny island nation.

"Wendy was excellent – she has so much knowledge to share about Cuba and in particular, the agricultural practices and farm-to-market information. There is no way we would have been able to glean this much (and type) of information travelling on our own." – 2017 alumni UBC Cuba traveller
