My name is Amy Poffenberger and I am the Training Coordinator and District Safety Coordinator for Food and Nutrition Services at Parkview Health in Northeast Indiana. My passion for training can be traced back to my pre-professional days. It wasn’t uncommon to find me helping out in my children’s classrooms, which transitioned into a tutoring job, which was followed by training people about safety in the manufacturing environment and now healthcare. I get excited when the light bulb goes on for the people I am training or when they have that “a ha” moment when the idea just clicks with them.
I graduated at age 51 Summa Cum Laude from Trine University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and Administration. I have also acquired a degree in Paralegal studies to enhance my critical thinking abilities and research skills. I am a single mother of 3 grown children and have 3 grandchildren. I love to hike, bike ride, and travel to places where I can explore new adventures.
I am excited to be a part of the AllerTrain Master trainer program. I am looking forward to helping our coworkers to better understand the hazards of allergens and food sensitivities.
