• Lead and evolve the nutrition curriculum within the CNC program

• Teach performance fueling, culinary nutrition, behavior change, and real-world coaching application

• Partner with chefs and kitchen leadership to align meals, snacks, and recovery with performance goals

• Translate nutrition science into practical, scalable systems across campus

• Mentor instructors and support the development of teaching staff

• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure nutrition is embedded across all programs
