Katie Duiven accepted an internship with The Nashville Food Project in June 2015, and within a couple months, her can-do personality, organizational skills and talents for making hundreds of granola bars helped promote her to Meals Assistant. Katie moved to Nashville from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to attend Belmont University where she plans to graduate in Spring 2016 with a major in Social Entrepreneurship and minor in Nutrition. Given her studies, Katie calls working with The Nashville Food Project a dream that strikes a balance between having fun, building community and providing nourishing food for people in our city who need it most. When she's not in the prep room or kitchen, Katie enjoys spending time with friends, being outdoors, babysitting and singing backup in her best friend's band.
