Mellissa is the Director of Food & Nutrition Services for Cambridge Public Schools in Massachusetts. She is a chef, dietitian, and an advocate for food justice through school nutrition.

Honeywood has had the privilege of working alongside some inspiring folks throughout her food service journey. Each doctor, dishwasher, teacher, truck driver, fisherman, farmer, first grader, politician, professor, parent, and school food hero has informed Honeywood’s understanding of our complex food system. During her tenure in Cambridge, school meals have evolved to include more locally sourced items, vegetarian protein sources, and international recipes that reflect the diversity of the student community.
