No Kid Hungry Louisiana is pleased to welcome Tiffany Blackwell as Senior Program Manager. In her role, Tiffany will support and provide strategic and technical expertise to school districts and community-based organizations to raise awareness and increase participation in federal nutrition programs; cultivate relationships with statewide partners and stakeholders; and develop resources and materials for various groups, among other responsibilities.
Tiffany has joined us from Algiers Charter School Association here in New Orleans, where she spent the last 16 years in Child Nutrition Services. She brings extensive knowledge of the childhood nutrition programs we work with and the real-world implications of how our program priorities can often play out in school systems. Tiffany was also part of a cohort working with Share Our Strength’s Innovation Team, which created a design toolkit for school nutrition staff to improve the “user-centered” (aka student) school meal experience. Tiffany was able to use various aspects of the toolkit when she led a redesign of the high school cafeteria at L.B. Landry high school. The goals of the redesign included increasing participation in school meals and creating an environment appealing to high school students.
As Senior Program Manager for No Kid Hungry Louisiana, Tiffany’s portfolio will focus on working with school nutrition Directors, community organizations, and outreach campaigns across Louisiana, helping expand our reach by providing technical assistance and grant support. Because of her background and knowledge, we look forward to Tiffany guiding Louisiana’s FNS Directors on various ways to increase meal participation.
Tiffany is a native New Orleanian who enjoys being a basketball and football mom, spending time with her 13-year-old son. She enjoys going to the beach, plans to travel more, and loves fresh flowers!
Please join me in welcoming Tiffany to our No Kid Hungry Louisiana team!
