Tania Marino
Culinary Director
Tania leads Gather’s culinary programs: Cooking 4 Community (C4C), the Gather Café at Great Bay Community College, Gather Café catering, and the UNH Project. Tania joined the Gather team in 2019, after spending two years as a volunteer in the cooking program. She studied economics at The University of Auckland, working globally in international finance as a financial analyst and currency trader before transitioning to the non-profit sector as a board member and direct service volunteer.
Food has always been central to Tania’s life, growing up on a farm in New Zealand. An interest in food sustainability, living around the world, and a passion for entertaining fuels a desire to create delicious and nutritious meals that support the environment in addition to reducing food insecurity. Outside of work, Tania enjoys playing and coaching tennis, scuba diving, spending fun times with family and friends, and following the sunshine to far-away spots!
