Meet Maggie Watson!

Maggie Watson joined the Park District in the spring of 2011 and has been using her knowledge of nutrition and cooking to jumpstart our wellness program ever since. Maggie received her degree in Dietetics at Bowling Green State University and has been working as a personal nutrition consultant since she became a Registered and Licensed Dietitian in 2009. In addition to cooking and healthy lifestyle classes, Maggie also works within our Kids Connection program to help institute healthy choices for their breakfasts and snacks.
