  UW-Stout

  Sept 2011 - May 2015

  The University of Wisconsin - Stout offers eleven different chemistry courses. The Chemistry Lab Manager is responsible for preparing all the chemicals and solutions the students use in their lab classes, inventory and hazard labeling of all chemicals in the department, and recruitment, training and scheduling of employees. I demonstrated excellent communication and organizational skills by communicating with the professors about what they would like to teach in lab each semester, and organizing their syllabuses in a way that I could keep track of what labs were happening, and when. My supervisor and I created a lab training manual, and training kits for future employees. Show less

My rotations included: oncology, neurology, transplant, extended care, critical care, surgery, chronic care, and pediatrics. Public Health: My Public Health rotation was at Access Community Health, which gave me experience working with a variety of health professionals in a Patient-Centered-Care setting. I was able to counsel and educate patients, and develop nutrition education materials focused on diabetes.Food Systems: My Food Systems rotation was at Metcalfe’s Market, where I was able to implement FDA guidelines and improve the Market's Food Safety Reports, and promote social media and food demonstrations to enhance profit. I was also able to develop and evaluate recipes, formulas and menus for acceptability and affordability. Journal Club: Journal Club is an additional project in which I was able to critique and present a journal article, and discuss the findings with fellow interns and dietitians.

  School Nutrition

  While working for the Osseo-Fairchild School District as the Food Service Directors Assistant, I planned a cycle menu for the elementary, middle, and high school to be in compliance with the USDA guidelines. Each meal included the correct amount of whole grains, meat/meat alternative, vegetables (ex. red/orange, dark green, legumes, starchy and other), fruits, and milk (low fat or fat free) with the nutrient analysis and portions specific to each grade level.
