Now that my summer internship is \u00a0ending, I am confident going into the new school year that nutrition is a career path I want to pursue. I have learned so much working with the Oregon State University Extension program and Snap Ed that I \u00a0can apply to my future. My most valuable takeaway from my summer working for this program is how to bring awareness to nutrition throughout a community. Before working here, I was always hesitant to talk about nutrition with others. Now I recognize the importance of spreading awareness about healthy habits and easy recipes. Seeing not only \u00a0kids but adults getting excited to learn about nutrition brought me so much fulfillment<\/p>\n<p>Not only did I learn to teach about nutrition, but I also learned so much from my partner Carolina Muniz and my supervisor Maria Ximena Williams. They both have been such amazing resources to help guide me throughout this internship. I am so grateful to have met them and been able to work with them. The connections with others I have made throughout this summer internship are ones I hope to keep.<\/p>\n<p>The project I worked on this summer was dedicated to food tastings at the Hermiston summer meal sites. I attended different parks and schools to allow kids and their families to taste a new recipe I made from the Food Hero website. This was a huge success. The kids were all excited to try something new, and at the same time, it helped to promote Food Hero throughout the community.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I am extremely appreciative to have \u00a0worked for The OSU Extension program and Snap Ed. This summer is one I will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Karsynn Olivas.
