Mrs. Acosta has enjoyed working at Concordia since 2009 in several capacities. For over seven years she served as Nutrition Services Director, with the goal of helping students build lifelong healthy habits. Mrs. Acosta is now Concordia’s Wellness Coordinator, and is responsible for implementing the school’s Local Wellness Policy, Farm-to-School, and Garden program, leads Nutrition Education and Garden lessons throughout the year, provides wellness support to families and staff, and runs the Farmraiser program. Her favorite program to oversee is the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, where daily fruit & veggie snacks and weekly lessons help students try new foods and develop culinary curiosity. Mrs. Acosta is also responsible for website, email, and social media communications for the school. She truly enjoy sharing the exciting work done at Concordia with community partners, supporters, and school families.
October 2017 marked the completion of her MBA in Marketing from Benedictine University. Time spent with family while traveling and camping, reading, and writing are among her favorite hobbies.
