Good Morning Everyone!
My name is Amber Rinestine and I am the newest dietetic intern at OU Housing and Food. I just finished the school portion at OUHSC and am super excited to be starting my rotations. I have heard nothing but great things about this particular management rotation and was hoping I would be chosen for it. So I am sure y'all can understand my excitement to be here! I am very interested in seeing all the inner workings of this department (having to manage that many places must take a great deal of organization) and being able to apply it in the future.
It is my first week here and I am overwhelmed with how welcoming everyone has been. It is exciting that so many people want to offer their assistance and are so open with what they do/advice. Dot's job has been very interesting to learn about. It is incredible the steps that she takes to ensure every student has a meal plan that is safe for them. This week I was tasked with a food allergy awareness booth that will be happening on Feb. 19th. I have been planning the educational handouts and the menu, since we will be handing out free top 8 allergen free, gluten free, and vegan snacks. Today, Friday January 25, I am meeting Kevin Barker (Director of Business Operations) and go with him on a sanitation, safety, and quality inspection at Crossroads at the Student Union. This will be interesting to see since I have been on the other side before. It is very important that sanitation is being maintained and safety measures are in place to make sure everyone, students and staff, are safe here on campus.
As I mentioned above, I am very excited to be here and can't wait to take in every opportunity given to me! Have an AMAZING week and I will chat with y'all next Friday!
