Sarah Santa

As Director of Programs & Marketing, Sarah oversees the success of all EEE programs. She manages logistics of adult-focused programs, including Chef Night, Culinary Curiosities, corporate team builders, and employee wellness programs. Working with community members, local chefs and healthcare professionals has given Sarah the opportunity to expand her scope on health education in the culinary arts. Before coming to EEE Sarah worked as a nutrition consultant for a probiotic company and functional medicine clinic where she got certified as a nutritionist. Sarah’s education also extends into the culinary world, working as a sous chef for a catering company that hosted cooking demos and team-building corporate events. Her hands-on experience leading others in the kitchen has been a great addition to our team.

Sarah has received her Master's in Public Health from the University of Florida with a concentration in Social Behavioral Science. Her love for the community has shown in her previous work on a community-based research project called Get FruVed, with a focus on dietary intake and physical activity. She is excited to continue her outreach in the community, influencing the lives of our students to adapt and learn new practices for well-being. 

Sarah is always looking to learn something new, and got certified as a nutrition consultant by the AFPA. Her functional food approach brings a unique perspective to the EEE team.

Away from work, Sarah spends most of her time outdoors. Whether it’s standing-up paddle boarding, practicing yoga or tending to her home garden, she loves being active in nature.

Quote that sums up Sarah’s philosophy: “Eat well, live well.”
