"People keep asking me, 'So what exactly do you do when you mean school nutrition?' Because immediately people will say, 'You're just putting food on display for kids.' And I immediately say, 'No, we're bringing an experience to those kids, not just on the food, but also to be happy...' That what they're gaining. They feel good."

"Martin Luther King said, 'Not everybody can be famous, but everybody can be great if they can serve.' And our folks get to serve kids every single day.

"I was selling to schools and health care--my background is nutrition and dietetics. So I came out as a sales rep and then, probably nine years into my career in sales selling to school districts, I crossed over to the district. I started consulting with districts--that was around the time that we had lots of federal regulations around wellness and food safety. So I did help districts develop their food safety plans and their wellness plans, and then I became a director. I've been in this business total for about 22 years."
