I have extensive experience in food service management, including over 15 years as a CDM and Food Service Director. This was followed by 10+ years of progressive nutrition work, first as a DTR and then an RD. Currently I am working in a senior care community as the "Nutrition and Wellness Mentor", where I provide medical nutrition therapy for short-term rehab, over site for nutrition services, as well as planning and implementation of the wellness program. I also provide training for staff, menu creation, extensive computer database help for implementation of EHR, and leadership of staff in the culinary services area.
I have precepted numerous students over the years. There are regularly scheduled students in the fall and for a few weeks in the spring. So if someone is looking for precepting, they need to contact me well ahead of time. For mentoring, I am open to any time I have available.
My concentrations are wellness, geriatrics, and nutrition informatics.
