Do you feel burdened and stressed running child nutrition programs?

Making Students Safer 

I have been working in an urban school district for over 16 years in various roles.  We have struggled with systems and communication processes to make sure that all students are able to be accommodated for their special dietary needs with very specific safeguards in place.  Tarrah worked with us and accomplished this in just a few short months.  There is no doubt in my mind that our students are safer because of Tarrah's work.  Tarrah was very professional and took the time to understand the issues and concerns and worked very quickly to improve our systems and processes.  I highly recommend working with Tarrah.

Energy and Encouragement

Working with Tarrah was so refreshing! She brought an energy and encouragement to us that we needed to take the next steps in showcasing our breakfast program. When we saw the depth of the resources and the scope of ideas that Tarrah provided for us, we were amazed! The resources helped us immensely in planning Breakfast in the Classroom. All we had to do was add our own specific information and we had training materials ready to share with our school staff.

School Nutrition Industry Expert

Tarrah has been an amazing asset to our team and our school nutrition work. The school nutrition industry requires a special combination of regulatory knowledge, creativity, and an understanding of the varying needs of operators, administrators, students, and families - and Tarrah has each of these in spades. I most value Tarrah's knowledge of what's happening in the child nutrition industry, keeping up to date on trends and new regulatory issues, and helping us adapt our programs accordingly. Her industry knowledge and years of experience in the field mean the ideas she brings to the table are well-informed, compliant, and realistic.

Created Long-term Impact for Our Students & Staff

"Tarrah at Westercamp Consulting was amazing—I couldn’t have worked through the Healthy Meals Initiative Grant without her! She kept every moving part on track and helped us make the grant sustainable by paving the way to hire our own district chef. Her expertise not only brought our vision to life but also created long-term impact for our students and staff. I’d recommend her to anyone wanting to take their program to the next level!"

Milk Dispenser Resource Guide & Toolkit

UDIM was on the search for an experienced school nutritionist who could help support our efforts in piloting milk dispensers in K-12 schools. Recommended to us by another school nutrition expert, we’re happy the connection was made with Tarrah! She brought the necessary details, resources, and knowledge needed to create a fully robust resource guide and toolkit to help support our Michigan schools in launching milk dispensers. It helped us immensely in opening the door to conversations about innovative opportunities in the school nutrition space. She developed resources that help overcome common challenges and found creative ways for this program to be customizable to schools, ensuring a win-win for students and food service staff.

Needs Were Handled with Care and Accuracy

Tarah works closely with our office staff, nursing team, and parents to ensure that all dietary modifications and special diet needs are handled with care and accuracy. She plays an essential role in making sure our menus meet current guidelines, as well as upcoming sodium and sugar limits. Tarah is incredibly helpful in educating our managers, answering daily questions about special diets, allergies, and nutrition concerns. She also creates custom recipes for students with severe allergies and develops detailed grids that break down all menu items by allergens and carbohydrates. I would highly recommend Westercamp Consulting to anyone in need of expert dietetic support.

Transformative for our District

Working with Tarrah and Westercamp Consulting has been truly transformative for our district. I would recommend her without hesitation because she brings both expertise and heart to the work. Over the past year, we’ve collaborated on everything from new menu items and specialized allergy menus to expanding the use of local produce and even developing school gardens. The most beneficial aspect has been how she tailored her support to meet our unique needs. She didn’t just provide strategies — she empowered our team with the tools and confidence to implement lasting improvements.

Because of this partnership, our programs are stronger, and our staff feels supported in ways they hadn’t before. The ripple effect will be felt by students for years to come, as we are now better equipped to provide nutritious, engaging, and impactful school meals. Before working with Westercamp Consulting, we often felt stretched and reactive. Now, we feel proactive, innovative, and proud of what we are accomplishing. The magnitude of Tarrah’s work cannot be overstated — she has elevated our entire operation and left a lasting mark on our school nutrition program.
