CAREER GOALS
SHORT TERM GOALS
In the Fall of 2016, I plan on beginning my Dietetic Internship program with a focus on clinical nutrition, medical nutrition therapy, or health education. Upon graduation, I will sit for the exam to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. With my RDN credentials, I am planning on finding a job in the field of dietetics I am most interested in and beginning my professional career.
LONG TERM GOALS
Over the next five years, I plan to gain as much experience as I can working in the field of dietetics. In the clinical setting, I am highly interested in working in the fields of oncology, geriatrics, diabetes, and pediartics. I am also interested in the field of health and wellness promotion working in an office setting and counseling of at risk patients. My dream is to be able to assist people in learning to improve and heal their lives through the power of nutrition. I would love to be able to give back through community outreach programs and assisting future nutrition students gain experience in defining their career.
WORK PHILOSOPHY
I believe everyone should have the opportunity to work in a field they are truly passionate about. To me, being able to participate in a job I truly enjoy every day is most important. I want to work in a field where helping others is the main goal and I strive to find my place in the field of nutrition where I will be most successful. I have taken a longer path than some on my road to becoming a Registered Dietitian. However I feel that my experiences I have gained along the way will only benefit me more in establishing my future career in nutrition care.
