Hey, I'm Alana!

I am a seasoned Child Nutrition Program consultant and trainer and the passionate founder behind Off My Plate, a mission-driven initiative dedicated to helping school nutrition teams build sustainable, compliant, and community-centered food programs. With expertise in staff development, compliance restoration, and inclusive menu planning, my goal is to empower schools to nourish diverse learners and strengthen CNP teams, all while meeting rigorous standards.

Beyond Off My Plate, I am the founder of the We Are CNP Community, a thriving online platform that connects hundreds of food service professionals through courses, templates, CEU training, and peer networking—fostering growth and collaboration in school nutrition.

I am driven by a vision of equitable, efficient, and impactful meal programs. Alana is reshaping the future of child nutrition, one plate at a time.
