What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can provide nutrition assessment and education, develop care plans, and offer consistent counseling and referrals for individuals and families, while working dependably with healthcare and community partners.

I’m a Registered Dietitian with over 10 years of professional work experience providing nutrition assessment and education to individuals and families. I’m motivated and dependable, consistently delivering quality work on every task given.

Since June 2015, I’ve worked with WIC to perform nutritional assessments and develop care plans for each WIC participant. I provide counseling and nutrition education, and I make referrals while coordinating with health care providers and community professionals when appropriate.

Earlier in my career, I completed a supervised dietetic internship rotation (1280 hours total) across clinical, administrative, and community settings. I’ve also supported students as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, worked as a Fitness Center Supervisor and Service Desk Worker, and contributed to honors research, with certifications including Certified Lactation Specialist.
