Today's Daughter of Change is 20-year-old Halle Roy. Born in and raised in Maine, Halle is currently getting ready for her second year at Southern Maine Community College where she is studying fire science and is part of a live-in program. Students accepted into the “live in” program live in area fire-EMS stations in exchange for being “on call” during specific hours. They have additional responsibilities and must provide their own meals. Live-in students complete fire+ EMS basic training and are paid for their emergency responses. The Live-In Program requires a high level of motivation and responsibility. Halle says -throughout my first year, I obtained my fire one and two and my EMT license. My father and stepfather are both firefighters so I found the same passion as them and I couldn't be happier. I have a little sister who also wants to be a firefighter paramedic one day, so being able to go through it as a woman in the fire service, I can lead her in the right direction. I hope that I can be a voice for other females who are interested in this career or really are just scared to put themselves out there because I was that same person.Links to Check Out:SMCC Public Safety Live-in ProgramFollow Daughters of Change:Website:Facebook:InstagramLinkedInMarie's LinkedIn:Daughters of Change Podcast Producer:  Sarah StaceySarah's LinkedIn Profile

Nicole Steinhagen grew up in South Portland, Maine and is currently a Sophomore at Southern Maine Community College studying business. Nicole has also been studying Martial Arts for 18 years, holds a black belt and has 4 world championship titles. She is also the current Miss Greater Portland and gearing up for Miss Maine in June of this year! After losing her grandfather 5 years ago to suicide, she feels it is more important than ever to end the silence and help others speak up around the topic of suicide. In the wake of her grandfathers suicide, Nicole had a rough few years, both physically and mentally. She ended up losing about 15 pounds that she didn't have to begin with. She would barely have a meal during the day because she was consistently busy and wouldn't remember to eat. She also distanced herself from anything and everything that would remind her of her grandpa. A few years ago, Nicole found the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Up until then she had never known that suicide was preventable and mental health was more than depression and anxiety. In Maine, schools do not talk about suicide and mental health but with AFSP she is working to let everyone know that it's okay to not be okay and there's resources out there for everyone to access!

Let's Do Lunch! visits 95 Ocean at The Nonantum Resort with Executive Chef Steve True, celebrating his 10 season, for a food and wine pairing. Food and beverage director Mark Wozny, who just returned from a trip to Italy, to shop for their extensive wine cellar, expertly matched reds and whites to compliment the delicious three-course meal. Chef Steve, who's family is from Maine, began his love for cooking in Connecticut where he began making pizza at 15 and still uses the same recipe for his sauce today. He is a natural having never studied cooking in school; bringing his culinary creations to 95 Ocean. One such delight is Topaz; a chorizo sausage with a fresh date wrapped in apple with smoked bacon topped with a balsamic glaze where sweet, smoke and heat melt in your mouth. Their signature Lighthouse Salad has local greens, dried cranberries, walnuts, and goat cheese topped with warm crunchy onion rings right out of the oven and homemade raspberry viniagrette. Steve deserves bragging rights for his open-faced lobster ravioli stacked napoleon style with chunks of lobster from literally down the road, where the perfect claw meat sits on top, and fresh herbs that he harvests from Nonantum's gardens. Aside from 95 Ocean, Steve passes on his knowledge to No Kid Hungry, founded by Jeff Bridges, teaching low-income families the benefits of healthy home cooking. In the winter he teaches at Southern Maine Community College where he recruits 'young talented cooking stars' to 95 Ocean.
