MEET OUIR NEW K12 CHEF

I’m so excited to be part of the Child Nutrition team for Washington County School District. I was working as a legal secretary for the state of Utah, but had to leave that position when we moved to St. George in October of 2025. I decided it was time to go back to my cooking roots and applied for the K12 Chef position. I have an Associate’s degree in Culinary Arts from UVU along with a BS in Hospitality Management. Over the last 20+ years my spare time was focused on developing recipes for people with food allergies and sensitivities. I love being able to help people find foods they can have instead of focusing on what they can’t have. Some of my favorite allergies to work with have been fish, sugar, wheat, and tropical fruits.

I’m mostly a Utah girl with heart strings in California and Idaho where I have family. Utah has been my main residence since 1994 as I love the outdoors and can’t seem to say goodbye to the mountains. I’m a wife of 26 years, mother of 3, who loves road trips, adventures, and projects involving power tools.

We are pleased to welcome Kathy Torok as the new Child Nutrition Director. She replaced Sharon Stucki, who retired after 42 years.

From Kathy’s Desk:

I began my career in Child Nutrition back in 2002 here in Washington County. It didn’t take long for me to discover my passion for this work, and that led me to go back to school and earn my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

I now have 23 years of experience in this field and have worked as a substitute cook, child nutrition cook, manager, nutrition specialist, and director. I spent 11 years as the Director of Child Nutrition in Sevier School District, and I’m honored to now be back where it all started. I have so much respect for child nutrition professionals—they’re the unsung heroes in our schools.

Outside of work, I love being in the sunshine, playing in the water, doing arts and crafts, and spending time with my family.
