Why I Work at NDPA

She now enjoys using her talents to serve the Students at her school nutritious and delicious meals.
School lunch has been given a bad reputation and she is out to change that, proving you can serve meals to students that follow the government guidelines while still give students a variety to choose from. School lunch can be tasty and good for you. She loves creating new recipes for the kids to keep or kick. She also loves exposing them to new foods and flavors from around the world. She also enjoys getting to know the students by name and enjoys watching them learn and participate in school activities. We have a great group of kids at NDPA.
Working and being part of the NSLP for the past 15 years, not only does she enjoy the students and the food she serves them; she now enjoys using her lifelong loves of performing and learning, with those whom she works: finding ways to make work and life easier. It’s amazing how having the right tools can help you deal with the changes that happen in life. One simple choice can lead to change, and one change can affect so many lives.
“I want to be the positive change in the world and what better way than by sharing tools to help amazing people view life and its challenges in ways to make whatever comes easier to handle .”
