About

RD-eligible dietetic intern and Master’s graduate in Dietetics & Clinical Nutrition Services with comprehensive training in clinical, community, and foodservice settings. I am passionate about delivering evidence-based, patient-centered nutrition care and supporting individuals across a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Through my coordinated Master’s program and dietetic internship, I have developed strong competencies in medical nutrition therapy, nutrition assessment, and interdisciplinary collaboration. My clinical experience includes working with diverse patient populations, including those with diabetes, renal disease, liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders, malnutrition, and eating disorders. I am particularly interested in nutrition counseling and value the opportunity to translate complex medical and nutrition information into practical, meaningful guidance for patients and their families. I strive to approach care with empathy, critical thinking, and a commitment to improving patient outcomes. I recently completed all supervised practice requirements and am currently awaiting verification to sit for the Registered Dietitian (RD) exam. I am seeking a clinical dietitian role where I can continue to grow as an entry-level dietitian and contribute to a collaborative healthcare team. Beyond my immediate career goals, I am interested in building a community of clients and eventually establishing a private practice. My long-term vision is to provide outpatient nutrition counseling that integrates evidence-based practice with a holistic approach to health, grounded in patient-centered, compassionate care.
