RDN stands for Registered Dietitan Nutritionist. To become an RDN, I…
Hold a degree in Nutrition
Completed a 1 year ‘dietetic internship’
Passed a board exam
Keep up with continuing education
So besides confirming that I’m a book nerd and love research, what does this mean for you?
It means that not only do I have formal training in nutrition, I have the experience to back up my recommnedations. Unlike other professionals who may be able to give you blanket advice, you can trust that any suggestions I give you are backed by experience and expertise.
I became a dietitan for two reasons: my love of food and my love of people. So much of the noise we hear about food is negative or simply not true.
As a dietitian, I love nothing more than helping my clients make lasting changes and shift their perspective.
I am passionate about animals and love to rescue dogs.
I enjoy pottery and other crafts — even if I don’t always excel at them.
My favorite food is gyoza dumplings!
Something I love about food is the connection it creates across the globe. Take filled bread for example. It’s an empanada in Argentina, a bao bun in China, a ravioli in Italy, and a Hot Pocket in America (just kidding)!
Despite our diverse cultures, food is a language we all speak.
While I mostly cover nutrition, you’ll also find stories of my adventures abroad exploring cultures and cuisines.
