Kansas City Portrait Spotlight: Meet Science Leader Mariah Ehmke
I’m an Applied Economist and Data Scientist, passionate about how food systems, technology, and human behavior intersect. My work explores the economics of food production and consumption—how our meals reflect global systems in business, trade, agriculture, and policy.
Kansas City Photography Feature: Innovation, Economics, and Technology
In 2023, I began pursuing a Master of Information and Data Science at UC Berkeley, diving into the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to better understand and serve humanity. From delivering healthy food to underserved communities with autonomous vehicles to analyzing links between ultra-processed foods and obesity, my goal is clear: to use technology to make the world healthier and more sustainable.
Capturing Global Thinkers with Kansas City Portrait Photography
I thrive in curiosity-driven spaces and believe in the power of research and innovation to shape a better future—for our planet, and the generations to come. So as you think about your next meal, know I’m thinking about it too—working to make sure it nourishes not only you, but the world around us.
To women over 40, my message is simple: Care for yourself. You need strength to sustain your vision. I hope to inspire others by supporting and advancing the discovery of truth.
I loved having my portraits done because Kia made something uncomfortable feel natural. And now, with these images, I see a woman who is still evolving—driven by curiosity, grounded in faith, and building a future shaped by intention.
