Senior Nutrition Specialist
Ivy Marx is the Senior
Nutrition Specialist for Food Services.
Mrs. Marx is a Registered Dietitian and has devoted her career spanning
over 25 years to nutrition. Her varied
experience brings many skill sets that allow her to provide optimal and exceptional
service to our customers – the students.
Mrs. Marx’s clinical management background from over ten years of
experience in healthcare services has instilled in her the importance of
nutrition for the growth, development, and health of children. She also has excellent knowledge in the
nutritive components necessary to help children excel academically and
physically. It is her mission to
communicate the benefits of eating at school to parents and students and she
has done so in Spanish, English, and Chinese on many occasions at schools district-wide. Mrs. Marx also has over fifteen years of
experience in LAUSD school food services.
One of her priorities is working with students in all districts to
obtain feedback that is critical for menu planning and development. Food Services’ goal is to student test all
menu items and only include those that are student approved items. Mrs. Marx believes student input is valuable in
the development of menus that students enjoy, that encourage students to dine
more often in the cafeteria, which results in more students nourishing their
minds and bodies to excel in and outside of school. Mrs. Marx welcomes your feedback and is happy to
hear from you. Please contact her if you
have any comments or questions.
