Jennifer Mampara has years of experience teaching young children how to grow and eat healthy foods. After receiving her Masters from Teachers College at Columbia University in Nutrition and Education, she worked with a number of non-profits and universities in New York . Ms. Mampara is also a certified teacher in the District of Columbia and spent five years teaching 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade in DC Public Schools.
Currently, she works for FRESHFARM Markets developing and implementing a program called FoodPrints that involves gardening and cooking along with nutrition and food system education. Over the past two years, she has created a FoodPrints curriculum for first graders (studying how the plants we eat are grown) and third graders (focusing on how the foods we choose to eat affect our bodies).
