Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County (CCE-Monroe) has expanded its nutrition outreach to now serve all county residents.
Alexandra (Ally) Miller has joined CCE-Monroe as a Nutrition Educator. She grew up in the Rochester area, but spent the last four years in Buffalo, getting her bachelor’s degree in Public Health from the University at Buffalo’s School of Public Health. Miller was driven by her strong aspiration to help others while learning about community health, community outreach and various public health interventions. Ally has followed her passions all the way to her career with CCE and is excited to give back to her community.
Miller’s position is part of a new initiative at CCE-Monroe. Through funding provided by the Monroe County Legislature, nutrition education will be available to all residents throughout Monroe County. Unlike SNAP-Education which is restricted by demographics and grant requirements, this funding allows Miller to reach any community interested in learning more about healthy eating, wellness, strategies to stretch food budgets, making healthy meals, and more. The SNAP-Ed NY team at CCE-Monroe will continue to serve residents living within the City of Rochester, East Irondequoit, and Gates-Chili. And in addition, this expansion of services enables all Monroe County residents to benefit from the same level of research-based quality nutrition education and resources.
