Kavita Koppa

Kavita is a Senior Relationship Manager at Iroquois Valley, where she works directly with farmers and partners on the Rooted in Regeneration note for farmers of color. She comes from over a dozen years in agriculture, from tending organic veggies and livestock to providing technical assistance to folks in financial distress to helping create funding programs to farmers helping in the fight against climate change. She is passionate about improving practical and equitable access to financing. In addition to her work at Iroquois Valley, Kavita is a proud co-owner at Money Positive, a worker-owned financial planning firm focused on helping those who are often excluded from the conventional financial industry. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in geography and biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a dual MBA/MA in Public Affairs from the University of Texas at Austin. Kavita can usually be found frolicking with her dog through the woods of Greensboro, North Carolina, and getting overly-excited about plants.
