Hey, It’s been a while! After passing my RD exam I settled into my new role as an acute care RD. I just hit my one year and have transitioned to becoming the pediatric ICU/ NICU dietitian! I love this role so much, working in pediatrics has a special place in my heart. Alongside my new role I spend the year working on my fitness ( ran my first 5K) played pickleball ( a lot) and spent some time traveling. Now as the year winds down I’m working on my side hustle/ private practice! Good to see yall again! 🩷

Officially an RD!!! 🥕🥳

Thank you to my wife for your support and encouragement, I couldn’t have done it without you by my side. Thank you to my family and friends for your support and kind words.

Thank you .class for the study materials and the lovely pass class community who helped me pass the exam! ✨

Um yeah… major life updates 🤪

Graduated EMU with my dietetics program BS+MS
Spent the summer working/studying/ job hunting/ traveling to ATX! 🩷
Got my first clinical dietitian job in Indiana, I work with neuro/spine and med surg patients
I packed my Michigan bags and headed for the miles and miles of corn fields! Jk, but fr. Indiana is beautiful and I’m finally starting to feel settled 💜

Happy National Nutrition Month! NNM was founded in 1973 it became a month-long observance in 1980. NNM focuses on helping the public make informed choices about food and physical activity. This year's theme is Beyond the Table, to me that means appreciating where our food comes from like local farmers markets and getting outside. What does this mean to you?

Recently had my theme meal at my food service site!! It was a hit and so much fun to put together. The theme was Chinese take-out 🥡✨

Hello. hi. Happy new year! I spent my winter break relaxing and gearing up for my final clinical and food service rotations. I’m at the same hospital for both and so far I love it here, the people are super nice and helpful. In just one day I’ve walked the floors, met patients, and learned so much about the FS department. I was so nervous leading up to this but my nerves are starting to calm down, I’m so excited to see what I can accomplish while I’m here.

However you like your oats is to-oat-ally fine with me! My favorite flavor is apple-cinnamon or strawberries and cream 🍓

Still looking for that perfect gift for the nutrition friend in your life? Maybe a preceptor who was super nice! Check out my Redbubble for the perfect card, sticker, or tote to give as a gift or treat yourself this holiday season!

Life update!: finished my specialty rotation at a local GI clinic and absolutely loved it. My preceptors were so supportive and fun to work with. Enjoyed a nice two week break 😮‍💨 and then spent 4 days at WIC, I really enjoyed my time there and could see myself in that role. Also— I’m getting married soon! 🎉 just picked up the marriage license and had my bridal shower over the weekend 💍🤍 off to private practice and that concludes fall 2023! Two more semesters to go!!

Comment below a strategy you are thinking of! 🧡🎃🍁

Remember the goals you had at the beginning of the year? Hold on to them and remember your 'why' as we jump into the fall and holiday season. 🍂🍁👻🎃
