“What I love most about my job is seeing the students and making sure they are offered a complete nutritious meal.”

Why School Nutrition?

Working for the CNP for 15 years and going to the state level conference was the inspiration that I needed. You sit back and watch the students walk through your doors and ask yourself how can I learn more to help the program and students. That gave me the motivation to return to school and continue my education so I can make a greater impact on the students, schools and communities that I serve. That is what inspired me to apply for this scholarship. Sometimes you need a little help to reach your goals.

Investing in My Future

This scholarship will help me continue my education, strengthen my leadership and my nutrition knowledge while working full time in Child Nutrition. My goal is to continue growing, take on more responsibilities and to get more involved with the school nutrition. I hope to take the SNS exam in the near future.

I am most looking forward to courses in leadership, nutrition and food management.
