“What I love most is, the people I get to work with and interacting with the students during meal times.”

Why School Nutrition?

I have worked in School Nutrition since 2011, and throughout my career, I have continued to educate myself on the importance of nutrition and dietetics. For several years, I have wanted to pursue a career as a Registered Dietitian, and I finally decided it was time to stop waiting and take that step.

Investing in My Future   

My goal is to expand my knowledge and use it to provide meaningful nutrition education to our staff and students. I also hope that, one day, I can work on the legislative side of nutrition and advocate for policies that promote the health and well being of students and communities.
