Speaker Bio:Janelle Peterson has been providing training in the child nutrition arena for 20+ years. She uses humor and stories to share her leadership journey, as well as staff development, and love of all things related to foodservice.
Having spent over 30+ years in foodservice operations that include school nutrition, hospitals, and long-term care, Janelle quickly understands the challenges and is excited to problem solve usable solutions. Spending a few years on the administrative side as a state agency program specialist, Janelle is also uniquely qualified to help participants understand the rules and regulations as they pertain to their programs.
Janelle is a personal development junkie and is always on the prowl for new books to read. She and her dog Watson live in the forest. To be more accurate, her home is adjacent to Black Hills National Forest ground in South Dakota. Photography, gardening, and spending time with her 6 grandchildren is also high on her list of things she loves to do.
