Professional Experiences:

Portland VA Health Care System: We are currently in the process of changing to room service.  Part of my position is to educate kitchen staff on diets and the nutrition behind these diets.  In the past I was allowed to delve into the cook-chill production.  Aided in the management of 20+ foodservice workers working 3 different shifts for a 227 bed critical care hospital.

Dietetic Internship Experiences:

Throughout the Foodservice rotations I learned how to manage employees, keep financial records, take inventory, make well rounded menus, and find alternatives for those with special diets. 

   Foodservice Experience:

  • Aramark at the Multnomah County Jail:  I had the opportunity to create a Halal diet for the Muslim inmates.  Not only was interning in the County Jail a unique experience it broadened my outlook of different areas a dietitian can work.  The work sample below is an example of one week in a three week cycle menu for the special Halal diet inmates.

 Portland Veteran Affair's Hospital Foodservice Department: Gave me the opportunity to put together a snack program for the patients so that they could eat in-between meals.  For this project I started with snacks that were wanted by the patients and figured out storage, ordering, delivery, and staff involvement.  There are two work samples:  one is the announcement that was given to the VA food and nutrition staff, and the other is a list of nutritional information that was given to the nursing staff so that they could make the proper choice for the patient's specific diets.
