Work History

Nutrition Services Team Lead

  • Developed thorough training materials to ensure new employees were equipped with the necessary skills to succeed. For example, the call center where patients place their meal orders is very detail-oriented. This requires a significant amount of upkeep to stay current with changes, policies, and procedures. I worked to keep all colleagues updated on this front and provided job descriptions for any changes.
  • Collaborated with other departments to identify areas of improvement and implement solutions for better cross-functional efficiency. An example of this is when the Speech Pathology team required a walk-through guide of the International Dysphagia Diet. The goal of this was to help nursing staff determine what would be the best food options for their patients depending on the patients diet. To create this guide, I worked with the Speech Pathology team and distributed it to different pantries throughout the hospital. This helped promote better safety for our patients and provided education to nursing colleagues.
  • Conducted training and mentored team members to promote productivity and commitment to friendly service.
