Meet Amy Virus

USFA Treasurer
Amy has worked for the School District of Philadelphia’s Division of Food Services for the past 9 years as the Manager of Administrative and Support Services. She is the chief compliance officer for administering the National School Lunch, Breakfast, After School, and Summer Feeding programs. She oversees food purchasing, including the management of USDA Foods, and oversees menu development. She had led a team of thoughtful problem solvers who have improved the quality of meals available to all students. They have increased the variety of fruits, vegetables, lean sources of protein, whole grain food, and have limited the sales of excess snacks and high-calorie beverages in cafeterias across the District. Amy has leveraged technology and modernized data sharing information systems with the Division to promote cost savings and information sharing.
