About STS

Founder, SafeTable Solutions

As the mother of two severely food allergic teen sons, who together have Top 5 severe FA (plus beef and lamb) since birth, I know what it’s like to:

​

• Ride with a child in an ambulance to the ER;

• Be an advocate every year in the classroom and on the sports team;

• Navigate every playdate, sleepover, birthday party, field trip, camp and social gathering;

• Bake the right treat to ensure a child never feels left out of a special occasion; and

• Teach children to speak up for themselves, while navigating the social challenges of FA that only become more complex with age.

​

With a M.Ed. in Counseling/Student Affairs in Higher Education as well as a law degree, I have practiced law and worked in a variety of roles at colleges and universities of all sizes -- including reading applications for the University of Virginia -- for over the past 25 years. That morning in the car, I realized my knowledge and experience were a perfect fit for tackling the FA challenge in dining halls and on campuses, and I am fortunate to have assistance from former college dietitians in that endeavor.
