As a dietitian, my past work experience has been a bit varied. I worked clinically for a while in acute care hospitals and in a psychiatric facility for children. I recently enjoyed a public speaking job here in Colorado - although I loved it, after 7+ years, the mileage on my car was an issue. So, I am letting my Jeep take a rest in the garage as much as possible, no longer speaking around the st
ate and continuing to do what I have loved for over 20 years - teaching at the college level. I have taught college level nutrition in the traditional setting in both Louisiana and Texas and find that I really enjoy teaching. I have enjoyed teaching nutrition online for the community college system here in Colorado for almost twenty years. However, I discovered another outlet for my knowledge and experience that I believe I will love. This is my latest jump...private consultation to work with and encourage people to do exactly what I have done. Five years ago, I whittled close to 70 pounds off, I've kept it off and refuse to ever let it creep up on me again. So, I really do have the knowledge and experience to help others address health issues. As for the knowledge part, I am a Registered Dietitian with a Master's in Science. I have completed all of the certifications in weight management that the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers and hope to take one more in November. As an RD and college teacher, I continue to educate myself and stay current through continuing education opportunities. I enjoy the science of nutrition. It is an ever-evolving science that teaches us new things almost every day but the foundations remain the same. It is a very personal science as we all need to eat and that eating is shaped by many factors in life - time, upbringing, finances, emotions and more. Let's support and encourage each other one day at a time!
