Hi I’m Brady Croteau, I lead outdoor recreation efforts under the Move More Kids program and provide nutrition education to adults, children, and families through Maine SNAP-Ed.

This work is important to me because I get to work with both youth and adults in making lifestyle changes around healthy eating and active living. My favorite part of the job is being able to promote physical activity and getting people outside! Living in Maine we have amazing outdoor opportunities through all four seasons, so there is something for everyone and working with individuals to discover those new hobbies or strengthening a budding interest is what I enjoy the most.

Hi, I am Kristie LeBlanc. I oversee and manage the physical activity and nutrition programs in Somerset County. I have worked closely with schools and the community since 2008 providing infrastructure, resources and programming through the Move More Kids Program, Let’s Go! 5210 Program and the Maine Snap-Ed Program. Providing opportunities to improve healthy eating and active living, and teaching youth the importance of being physically active starting at a young age has always been my favorite part of this work. On the weekends, you’ll find me enjoying Lake George, and connecting with nature through hiking, biking and cross country skiing.

Hi, I am Alanna Atkinson, I lead physical activity and nutrition programs in schools through Move More Kids and coordinate Maine Prevention Network (MPN)’s Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) efforts in Somerset County.

I work with fourteen schools in Somerset County, providing the framework to increase physical activity and nutrition education to students. The new MPN HEAL work will help to increase our capacity to educate about physical activity and nutrition. I truly enjoy contributing to the overall health of my community and for myself. In the winter you will find me on the mountain snowboarding and in the summer, you will catch me hiking with my two pups.
