CAREER CDM, CFPP
WHY DID YOU EMBARK ON A CAREER IN
FOOD SERVICE AS A CDM, CFPP?
I have always had a passion for food, and knowing what
food can do as far as health and healing. Is there any
more of a rewarding field to be a part of? In my role as
a supervisor, it was a requirement within my first two
years to complete the UND course. Even though getting
the certification wasn't required for my current role, I
didn't want to put in the work of completing the course
without the certification to show for it. I also want to
advance in my career, and within my facility, if I want
to be a manager or higher, then I would be required to
have my CDM, CFPP certification.
WHAT ANFP TOOLS HAVE HELPED YOU
GET ACCLIMATED IN YOUR CAREER?
I utilize more of the Edge magazine and ANFPConnect.
Although most of the ANFP resources are geared
for long-term care, the articles in Edge magazine
are good for topics that are more general-such as
staffing, retention, recipes, allergies, and so much
more. ANFPConnect is another great resource. As an
example, looking for jobs, there was a company that
was posting on the Job Board, but I didn't know much
about the company. I used ANFPConnect to see if
anyone had worked there or if there was anything they
could tell me about the company. There was a lot of
not good feedback about the company from those that
responded to the post.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING
FORWARD TO IN YOUR NEW CAREER?
I am not new in the foodservice industry. However,
after becoming a CDM, CFPP the opportunities
have become grander. I have work in any hospital,
correctional facility, school, or hospital with more
confidence to have an understanding of what needs
to happen to be successful. If I don't know the
information, then I have the resources to figure it out.
Each CDM, CFPP has a special relationship
with the credential and an interesting story
about how they began working in food service.
This recognition feature is aimed to spotlight
those entering (or who recently entered) the
foodservice industry.
If you or someone you know is a new CDM, CFPP
(five years or less) and want to be considered for
this new Edge column, please contact ebender@
