During my Dietetic studies I really developed a love for family and community nutrition after doing many projects in my local communities: from Governor Huckabee’s school BMI initiative to organizing community health fairs, volunteering with WIC, and running a nutrition education course for elementary students. From there I let my love for food guide me; the desire to help others find a happy balance with delicious food that not only pleases the palette, but our bodies. I worked mainly with one of the country’s largest weight-loss/healthy living camps for teenagers, returning each summer to manage the food program in different locations as well as teach nutrition and culinary courses to teenagers. In between I’ve worked with individuals on personal menu plans, assisted in recipe-writing for health programs, and put together school menus for small kindergartens. My passion is families and kids, working to keep my own family healthy and happy.
