BY KIMBERLY MULVEY Food & Nutrition Services Director Hamburg Central School District

Hello, Area C! It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I step into the role of Area C Director for the New York School Nutrition Association. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Hotel Restaurant Management, specializing in Food Service Operations, and over 25 years of experience across various sectors of the food and beverage industry, I bring both passion and expertise to this position. My journey in food service has been enriched by diverse experiences, including a semester abroad in Lake Como, Italy, where I had the privilege of working at a hotel and immersing myself in the world-renowned culinary culture of the region. These experiences have shaped my approach to food service and hospitality, emphasizing the importance of quality, creativity, and connection. Currently, I serve as President of the Erie County School Nutrition Association, a role that allows me to collaborate with dedicated professionals who share my commitment to supporting student well-being through nutritious meals. My prior involvement as a member of the New York School Nutrition Association Awards and Scholarship Committee has also been instrumental in fostering professional growth and recognizing excellence in our field. Working in school nutrition has been a deeply rewarding experience, as it allows me to contribute to the health and development of future generations. I believe that every meal served is an opportunity to make a positive impact on a child’s life. Outside of my professional endeavors, I enjoy baking, hiking, participating in Zumba classes, and spending quality time with my significant other, Paul. These activities help me stay balanced and energized as I take on new challenges. I am thrilled to begin my tenure as Area C Director, and I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues across the state to advance the mission of the New York School Nutrition Association. Together, we can continue to enhance the nutritional programs that are vital to the success of our students and communities. ~ Kim ~
