Personal Statement and Goals:
Always remember T.E.A.M – Together Everyone Achieves More

T Ǧ Together as a T.E.A.M. we must foster the relationships with all members of GSNA. It takes all
branches of school nutrition to be successful. Promoting our vision and mission with membership
and industry will allow us to grow.

EǦ Everyone advances with education. I believe that knowledge is power. It is our job as committee
members to provide educational trainings for all GSNA members. Education is of upmost
importance! My goal is to continue to educate, communicate, encourage, influence, motivate,
empower and serve our members.

AǦ Achieves. This year has taught me that school nutrition professionals can ACHIEVE anything.
Covid-19 turned our world upside down. However, thru collaboration with other GSNA members
we developed plans to feed our students. Having the network of GSNA members made Georgia
School Nutrition shine.

MǦ More. We are on the front lines serving MORE students each day. “Managers & Assistants
Matter” I am excited to be a part in planning the GSNA Managers Retreat for our awesome school
nutrition managers as well as the SNAP Training for food assistants. Working with industry
partners/directors/and the executive board the skies the limit.
Assistants & Managers are often mothers, masters, motivators, moving, making changes, mentors,
magicians and always marvelous!

I look forward to having a part in leading this great TEAM!!
