Summary
After being fully immersed in school food and seeing all that goes into it, along with how much it all has changed for the better, I found a new passion.I am ready to take on the challenge and be given the opportunity for a more permanent role and involvement. Dani and I have already become a pretty good team in the short time we have been able to work together and I can only see that strengthening. I am eager, hardworking, and have such a love for food which constantly has my brain spinning on recipe ideas that would be fun to try. I am motivated to continue to be a part of this field and be able to make a difference.
