Although I grew up in New York, I have already lived in San Diego for almost a decade! A few years ago I decided to make a career change from real estate to dietetics, and the Sodexo Distance Program was the perfect internship option for me. This internship has allowed me to stay in the same city where I completed my masters degree and have made numerous dietitian contacts, plus the weather is not bad either! I was even lucky enough to have all my fellow interns come to San Diego this year for class week. It was fun showing everyone around the city I love and now call home!
I was inspired to become a Registered Dietitian for the simple reason that I love food and I love helping people. So after years of working in numerous sales and marketing jobs, I decided it was time to go back to school to pursue a career following my real passion. I started working for Sodexo as a diet clerk and attended San Diego State University to receive a Master's degree in Nutritional Science (my Bachelor's degree is in Business Marketing from James Madison University in Virginia). I feel as though the Sodexo Distance Internship has provided me with the necessary tools to be a successful Registered Dietitian. My ultimate goal is to combine my sales experience with my RD credential to promote healthy eating to as many individuals as possible! I am excited to get started in my new profession and see where this path will take me!
