As a County Engagement Specialist in Nutrition and Health Education with a food science background, an area of work that I target is food safety. I am currently a certified proctor for ServSafe. I teach the ServSafe course on a as needed basis. I am also a certified instructor for the Produce Safety Alliance Grower training course.
