A Conversation with Rebecca

What do you like most about your career as a registered dietician?

I love learning about my students and seeing how I can tailor my lessons to meet their needs. I have always told my classes that many subjects they learn in school may never come up again, but nutrition will always be relevant. I enjoy witnessing their “aha” moments when they discover how improving their health can benefit them personally.
