About Me

As an Okmulgee County nutrition education assistant, I get the opportunity to educate younger generations as well as adults about nutrition. I encourage smart eating choices and habits, help clients set goals to improve their quality of life and discuss ways to stay healthy related to food insecurity and chronic disease prevention.

 

Two of the programs that I teach are Show Me Nutrition and Teen Cuisine. These courses promote physical and mental health such as food safety, exercise and even body image. Through experimental learning, clients gain knowledge and skills in nutrition, physical activity, food resource management, food security, food safety and food preparation.

 

It’s important that I teach our youth how to care for their bodies properly so they can gain more confidence in themselves and live a healthy life.
