Rochelle Monahan

Rochelle is a Registered Dietitian with over 10 years of experience in the foodservice industry. She began her career as a dietetic intern at Massachusetts General Hospital where she developed an interest in foodservice management. Her passion for design, which began at a young age, was rekindled during her dietetic internship when she was charged with producing a business plan for a cafeteria renovation. Rochelle enjoyed creating the new layout as a 3D model and thinking through the operational elements of foodservice design.

When she joined Rippe Associates in 2014, Rochelle’s experience in foodservice management and her love of design were merged. She works primarily on healthcare projects where her operational knowledge informs each design. Rochelle enjoys identifying solutions to complex problems and working with clients to understand and achieve their goals. Her greatest satisfaction at work comes from taking a blank canvas and creating a functional and efficient foodservice department.
