WESTERN - PROVIDER POSITION
1. Why do you want to be a Board Member for the WIC Association of NYS? I hope to be an agent of change and being a board member for the WIC Association of NYS will allow me this opportunity. Ideally, this position would permit me to make meaningful and impactful contributions on a greater level. Additionally, I’ve always felt being an advocate is integral and essential, which is why I continue to maintain my professional membership with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and partake in many of the DPG groups it has to offer and why our agency will continue to maintain membership with the WIC Association of NYS as long I remain the WIC Program Manager.
2. Please describe your qualifications to become a member of the WIC Association of NYS Board of Directors? I have been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist for 12 years and have worked in a variety of roles which have given me both clinical and community experience. Individual roles I’ve held within WIC include a CPAIII/Nutrition Education Coordinator, Temporary WIC Nutritionist for the NYS Western Regional Office, and currently WIC Program Manager. I believe my past work experiences coupled with my passion for the mission of WIC will assist me in making meaningful contributions as a Board Member for the WIC Association of NYS.
