Training On-Tap : Svetlana Gertsenshteyn, New York City
The Fusion Minute feature was only a few hours old when I met Svetlana Gertsenshteyn through an email. With a name like Svetlana, where do you guess I thought she was from? The assumption was so set in my mind, that even after she told me her location, for just a second I still thought, “Wow, I didn’t know Russia had a New York City.” She still teases me about it, occasionally signing her emails, “Svetlana-not-from-Russia.”
Svetlana is exactly the kind of person I was hoping to find with The Food Safety Fusion program. She’s motivated to teach, innovative in her methods, and unceasing in her search for better ways to spread education about nutrition and food safety.
One extremely useful innovation is a Food Safety “Assessment Tool,” which she created to help trainees prepare for the ServSafe® exam. She is generously making it available to the entire world for free.
The “Assessment Tool” is interactive, which trainees find captivating. It provides immediate feedback, resulting not only in assessing trainees’ knowledge, but also learning of Food Safety concepts.
The “Assessment Tool” starts out easy enough, but becomes progressively more difficult. Try it yourself, and add it to your teaching arsenal. The positive results will be astonishing.
Svetlana has developed some other remarkable educational websites, which provide visual information about simple and tasty nutrition and food safety:
Svetlana’s credentials are : PhD in education, MPH, and RD. Her educational and work experiences are from such illustrious institutions as New York University, Mayo Clinic, Sodexho Marriot, and the City of New York Department of Health.
You don’t have to be as accomplished as Svetlana to be a good teacher, but two things are important: the ability to recognize a good teaching tool, and the motivation to use it. Don’t miss this opportunity to follow in the footsteps of a truly brilliant educator.
Where I have to struggle for every iota of good sense, she comes by it naturally. So, now you’ll understand why I don’t think of her as Svetlana-not-from-Russia.
Instead, she is Svetlana Gertsenshteyn, Naturally Brilliant in New York City.
