About Lianna Levine Reisner

After running a PlantPure Pod in Manhattan, NYC, Lianna - now the Network Director - launched Plant Powered Metro New York in early 2019 with four other local PPC Pod leaders to develop a more coordinated metro-wide movement for whole food, plant-based nutrition.

PPMNY was designed to connect and support more leadership in the field and achieve deeper impact through collaboration. Lianna was first drawn to plant-based nutrition through the writings of T. Colin Campbell, PhD. She is now passionate about applying her expertise in collaborative change, community engagement, positive psychology, and network-based organizing to the local plant-based movement.

Lianna holds a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and eCornell, and she is a certified Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator through Main Street Vegan Academy. With a Master's from Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhood School of Management, she has worked as an organization development and change consultant through her practice, Partner for Change, supporting leaders to bring about positive change.
