Stella Aires is the Nutrition Service Director at Renaissance Academy, where she has spent the past eight years leading efforts to ensure students receive nutritious, enjoyable meals that support their health and academic success. She is passionate about creating meal programs that meet students’ needs while complying with government regulations. 

Originally from Brazil, Stella speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Before her current role, she spent nearly a decade at Nestlé’s Stouffer’s division, where she held various positions in food manufacturing, including food preparation, machine operating roles, and responsibilities in safety, quality, and training. These experiences gave her a strong foundation in food production, quality control, and operations, skills she applies to managing the school nutrition program. Outside of work, Stella values spending quality time with her two kids and family. She enjoys dancing, exploring the outdoors, whether it’s discovering new places, attending events, connecting with nature or traveling.
