Kemllen Lee

Kemllen graduated cum laude from Hunter College with a BS degree in physical education with an emphasis on health and nutrition. Upon graduation, she joined the Brearley School faculty, where she honed her team-building and project management skills by developing initiatives that resulted in improved working conditions for the staff members of the school and greater community service opportunities for the students. Her excellence in teaching and community work earned her a place in the Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers publication. Throughout her 11-year tenure, Kemllen’s passion for health and community continued to grow, and, in 2007, she began to work with Hawthorne Valley Farms, where she helped generate new business and increase revenue by developing a successful marketing strategy that targeted the Hispanic community. Later that year, during her teaching sabbatical, Kemllen was offered a brand management and food production internship with Revolution Foods in Northern California, where she promoted the company’s new branded product line to store marketing strategists and team leaders of Whole Foods’ northern California region. Through these experiences, Kemllen became interested in how the supply chain and product management can improve a community’s access to healthier products.  Kemllen is looking forward to leveraging her experience in teamwork and education with the skills she acquires from the Grainger Center to lead supply chain projects in the food and health industry.
