Sammi Farber

I attended the Culinary Institute of America where I received my bachelor’s degree in culinary arts and hospitality management. Through my experience in hospitality, I discovered my strengths in problem-solving and the joy of interacting with people. This rerouted my life path toward the field of mental health. After attending Fordham University and graduating with a master’s degree in social work, I went on to follow my passion for supporting the eating disorder population through my role as a recovery coach in an outpatient meal support setting. I remain an active advocate for raising awareness around the need for eating disorder treatment in communities. I am a recurring speaker for Delta Phi Epsilon during ANAD week on multiple campuses on the East Coast as well as an active member of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. I am currently working toward my goal of becoming a certified eating disorder specialist.
