Success Story: Jazmyne Byrd

Jazmyne Byrd began working with HHS in October 2017 as a patient service manager in the food and nutrition department at a hospital in Danville, Virginia. She spent a year and a half there while also assisting with new account openings in the region. In April 2019, Jazmyne was promoted to culinary director at a facility in Roxboro, North Carolina. 

Before coming to HHS, Jazmyne spent three years working in the department of health and environmental control in South Carolina, where she also acted as a personal trainer and fitness instructor. She has two daughters and has a passion for food and fitness. She earned a Masters of Science in Nutritional Sciences from South Carolina State University. 

"HHS has expanded my experience with, and knowledge of, food. It has aided in developing relationships with patients and residents who depend on the food and nutrition department to care for them. The experience has allowed me to learn from a number of individuals—from utility team members to skilled executive chefs."
