As an author, speaker, trainer and consultant, I work with organizations worldwide to understand how food and beverage affects risk, employee well-being, company culture and the bottom line. I’m passionate about inclusive food and beverage that satisfies everyone's needs and creates safe, inclusive and more delicious environments for all.Whether delivering a keynote presentation, breakout session, interactive training seminar or cooking demonstration, I will prompt your audience to evaluate, refine and learn to use food and beverage served at meetings and events, in offices and company cafeterias, and at home, as a way to make every participant, guest, employee, friend or family member feel safe and included at the dining table. Audiences on five continents agree that I bring passion and expertise to my presentations by offering detailed research and thoughtful analysis, and—most of all—by drawing on my own experience as an event planner with food allergies and training through ServSafe®, Beyond Celiac, American Red Cross, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, AllerTrain and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.The stories I share from both sides of the table— and from people around the world—will shock and inspire you; and my informative, yet easy-to-understand methods offer solutions for feeding all guests and usable tools that everyone can implement immediately.Gratefully, for my work I’ve been recognized as a 2016 Meetings Industry Change Maker, a US delegate to Slow Food’s Terra Madre Salone del Gusto, a 2015 Top 25 Women in the Meetings Industry, a 2014 Meetings Industry Trendsetter and inducted into Les Dames D’Escoffier.
