Reviews

Healthy Living Intern

June 2019 - July 2019 Grand Rapids, MI
“I loved teaching cooking classes and observing how to run a teaching kitchen. Lesson planning was really fun and it was easy to collaborate with our lead instructor and the other teachers. Being invited to work with community nutrition outreach was truly life-changing. I got to connect with a diverse group of vulnerable populations in the Grand Rapids community. Marrying nutrition, social justice, and Spanish was the perfect use of my interests and skills. ”
