00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.700
I graduated from Dominican University with my Master's

1
00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:06.700
in nutrition science. I became a registered dietitian

2
00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:09.200
nutritionist and I did work at a hospital

3
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:12.700
as an inpatient and outpatient dietitian while I

4
00:00:12.700 --> 00:00:15.900
was doing that. I decided to be a content creator

5
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:18.700
to where I can share my nutrition knowledge with people

6
00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:21.300
on social media and I was able

7
00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.100
to grow those platforms and reach hundreds and thousands of

8
00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:27.400
people and eventually make that my full-time job.

9
00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:30.600
I originally chose Dominican university for

10
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.800
their individual supervised practice pathway the

11
00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:36.900
internship for dietetics students. And once

12
00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:39.200
I was doing that internship, I knew I wanted

13
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.300
to give my masters. I just wasn't sure when or where so I

14
00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.300
looked into their master program and I was like,

15
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:48.100
okay. This is it I'm going to choose Dominican University and I

16
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:51.200
did do it. And honestly, the experience was great for

17
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.600
me. I learned so much I built great relationships and connections

18
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.600
with students professors the staff

19
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.700
and I highly recommend it.

20
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.800
nutrition tips I share on social media are all evidence-based and

21
00:01:03.800 --> 00:01:06.300
it's really nice because it's a differentiates you

22
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:09.200
from other influencers like the fitness influencers with

23
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.200
no nutrition background trying to give people meal plans

24
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.000
as a dietitian being on social media you're able to

25
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.700
stop those myths and like Diet culture and

26
00:01:19.300 --> 00:01:22.500
You know all the misinformation going around. Being a dietitian

27
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.600
on social media really does help with sharing nutrition

28
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:28.400
tips for the general public, but I'm also able to

29
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.900
access the people that don't even have access to healthcare

30
00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:34.700
or to see a dietitian. So

31
00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:37.600
being able to reach that group as well. I

32
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:39.100
know that I'm making a huge difference.
