K–12 education sales and nutrition leader, growing district relationships and revenue with data-driven menu and program strategy.
What I'm looking for
I’m a K–12 education sales and nutrition leader with 20+ years of experience driving revenue growth, expanding district relationships, and delivering data-driven solutions across school nutrition markets. In my current role as a K12 Account Executive, I manage and grow strategic K–12 accounts, increase product visibility, and support district adoption through data analytics, menu trends, and actionable sales planning.
Before sales leadership, I built strong operational and nutrition expertise as a Program Manager of Nutrition & Wellness, where I designed menu and feeding strategies that increased participation across NSLP, CACFP, and SFSP models. I also led P&L, labor, inventory, KPIs, and operational performance, directed staff training and professional development, and handled procurement of all food and non-food items—experience I bring to strengthening relationships and improving outcomes. Earlier, I led specialists and program managers overseeing 84 sites and (800+) employees, managed procurement, budgeting, and bid processes, and delivered districtwide training with CEU tracking and onboarding, supported by RD, LD/N, SNS and USDA program knowledge.
