My food service internship spanned two different sites: Dayton Children’s Hospital and Kettering Public Schools Administrative offices. At Dayton Children’s I worked in the kitchen to develop new culturally diverse and vegetarian friendly recipes and menus for the Behavioral Health Unit (BHU). As part of my equipment specification project, I worked with the facility manager and kitchen staff to dust off an industrial Berkel sealer machine, then researched and authored a user manual. I ended up learning how to program the sealer, set it up in the kitchen and demonstrated how to use it to the staff. At Kettering Public Schools, I worked with the Food Service Director and my fellow intern, Allison Benjamin, to design and implement a Space Theme Meal, with vegetarian options. It was a huge hit and my favorite project; students all wore space themed T-shirts and food sales hit a record high for the day. This project also provided me opportunity to reach back to my aerospace career and educational advocacy for space. I also designed and implemented a new electronic invoicing system to automate input to the school financial reporting system. My final project was to design and implement a food allergen awareness survey, educational campaign and informational flyer.
