Rene joined our Lemleys' Catering / 240sweet team three years ago. A native Floridian transplant to Indiana (via Kentucky), she lives in Bloomington but regularly commutes to Columbus to lend her expertise. With a working background in sales, customer service, and business administration, Rene plays a variety of roles in our office and shipping department as well as developing our newsletters and keeping our social media posts flowing.
Her passion is local food advocacy. She volunteers regularly at The Rise / Middle Way House food pantry in Bloomington (see photo!). Rene strongly supports the development of small, independent farms and food artisans of Indiana, particularly Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs around the state. She is a federally registered Dietetic Technician - the educational equivalent of a registered dietitian - and has participated in public health and food accessibility research efforts in Louisville, Kentucky.
Rene is thrilled to work for a growing company like Lemleys' that shares her vision for the empowerment of local foodways. Her favorite dish is Chef Alexa's Apricot Pork Tenderloin, because nobody does pork like Indiana!
