Introduction to the Creative Team: Part 5, Kristen Galle.

Hey guys! I met with the full team earlier this week for the first time this month, and Jeff (Creator) gave us the scoop on all the crazy things that God is doing through the project right now. I am weary that I might overuse the words "awesome" and "amazing" over the next few weeks, but it seems like that is the direction we are headed in. (I may have to pull out a dictionary for alternatives, well see!)
But regardless, im not at liberty to expound on much, but it looks like the project is getting way bigger than we had at first thought it would be. I hope that that news can tide you over until I am at liberty to divulge everything that has happened!


Anyways, this week im going to continue to introduce our crew so far, and this week I have the pleasure of introducing Kristen Galle (Jeffs wife), our Craft Services hero. I figured a departure from the norm was necessary for today! So here is what she had to say about what shes doing for the project and why shes excited about it!


KB: What experience have you had in catering/food?

KG: I started to work at a catering company when I was 16, and since then have developed a love of cooking and food. I earned by B.S. in nutrition to become a dietitian, and my favorite experience so far has been teaching healthy cooking classes to kids!


KB: What drew you to nutrition/food, and the area you currently working in?

KG: My Mom is a dietitian, so I guess she is the first person that introduced me to food and nutrition. Working on a movie set is something new for me, but feeding a big crowd is not--and I'm really looking forward to it!


KB: What would you say is your biggest talent?

KG: Staying organized.


KB: Favorite cooking show?

KG: Barefoot Contessa--although my husband wishes otherwise :)


KB: What is your career and life goal? (They can be the same)

KG: To love Jesus and be a great wife and mom.


KB: What made you want to be a part of the of the providence project?

KG: I feel very strongly that God has a plan for Providence, and I've seen His hand throughout the process. That's what makes me, and I think others, attracted to this project.


KB: How does faith play in to your career?

KG: Faith and God play a huge role to me in my love of cooking and preparing meals for others. It's an act of love for me, and a way to show my family and friends that I care for them. Food has the ability to bring people together and creates a bond of familiarity and comfort. A meal is a time of fellowship and sharing: the last thing Christ did before he died was share a meal with friends. And how did Jesus' disciples recognize him after his resurrection? Through the breaking of the bread.


I think that thought is a great way to end this weeks blog. Thank you Kristen for all your hard work! (Maybe I will be able to attend next time you cook for the team. HOW DID I MISS THE CAKE?!?!)

And to the reader, thank you for your continued support!
