Providing nutrition education during a health fair with Cooking Matters.
Throughout 2015, I completed community hours in several locations working with a variety of age groups. I completed my children community hours with a group of kindergarten students at Eldorado K-8th Elementary School providing them with nutrition-related lessons during their normal school hours.
My adult community hours were spent with a wellness coordinator at the Dufford & Brown law firm in Denver, CO. Take a peek at the "lunch and learn" presentations I gave to the group of lawyers on how to prevent holiday weight gain and understanding metabolism.
During my long-term care rotation at Life Care Center of Aurora, I gained a great relationship with the residents and decided to stay and work with the activities coordinator to teach nutrition-related lessons to seniors. Check out a handout from an activity I led during Valentine's week on the subject of heart health.
I also worked with several community organizations such as Cooking Matters, Metro CareRing, and Sodexo Feed Our Future.
