Juliette Siu

Starting as a dietetic student who wanted to help kids understand the importance of food, she began working at Live Oak School District in Santa Cruz, California. She quickly became Operations Manager and eventually Interim Child Nutrition Director. Along the way, she learned the impact of creative menu planning, the many ways to integrate nutrition education, and the beauty of farm to school. Ultimately, she came to understand the importance of a strong operations foundation so that a school nutrition program can not only survive, but thrive. Outside of ensuring students have access to nutritious, delicious meals they love, Juliette enjoys being outdoors, exploring the small crevices of the world (especially trying new foods!), and getting lost in a good book.
