I’ve worked with food heroes in both rural and metro districts, for contract management companies and in self-operations. I am knowledgeable and experienced with multiple facets of child nutrition feeding programs, i.e.,

• College Feeding Programs

• National School Lunch Program

• National School Breakfast Program (breakfast after the bell, breakfast to go, 2nd chance breakfast)

• Summer Food Service Program (Food Truck)

• USDA Afterschool Snack

• USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program

• USDA Commodity Foods

• Concessions Services

• Catering Services

• District Beverage and Snack Vending

• Vended Meal & Joint Agreements with Charter Schools

• Retail Cafes

• School Gardens

• Food Recovery

• Sustainability

I've provided food service leadership for one of the country's leading successful K-12 school nutrition programs, and one of the nation's top ranked colleges. In both industries, we were pioneers in offering innovative & scratch-cooked meals. Now, at the heart of my mission, I want to help other K-12 school nutrition professionals design/expand and offer delicious, wholesome foods that kids will love - while helping them to increase their skills, knowledge, and capacity to influence that joyful outcome!
