FABIOLA KATHER, Chair-Elect
     Fabiola is originally from Brazil and transferred to Colorado State University. She graduated with a degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition with a Minor in Industrial Biotechnology Studies in the spring of 2007.
     Soon after graduation, she started working at White Wave as a Sensory lab Assistant. After about a year and half with White Wave, she pursued a different move in her career and worked for a very short period for Microbac in their food microbiology division. As of October of 2008, Fabiola works as an Associate Research Scientist for Leprino foods.
     Fabiola currently lives in Westminster and enjoys the outdoors. One of her hobbies is hiking the 14ers-Colorado mountain peaks over 14,000 ft. The last 14er she explored was Mount Sherman, which she says is "a very good one."

 

RMIFT FOOD SCIENCE AMBASSADORS

RMIFT is excited to introduce a regional food science outreach program. We will give presentations about food science to Scout troops and middle and high schoolers, to cover many areas of food science. Topics will include product development, food processing and preservation, food safety and sensory science to increase awareness of food science as a field of study and spark interest for science -related fields within these groups.
