I am officially a registered dietitian!
I just passed the CDR exam on Saturday morning, officially letting me put a comma next to my name followed by RD.
It's been a crazy long road, and so many people helped me along the way. I'd like to send out a personal thank you to all my readers for making my blog feel so successful. It has helped me develop one of my true passions: writing. All the positive feed back in what I talk about here really improves my counseling and educating skills.
Currently I am working for WIC (Women, Infants, Children) in Chicago and loving it. With all this training and nutritional education I have discovered that I want a job that focuses on educating the people, much like how I always have with this blog! Hopefully this job and any volunteer experience I can find will help me target my end goal: nutrition for the athlete with disabilities. That being said, anyone who knows about opportunities in this area, you know who to contact!
I will continue to write for my blog, more regularly given I have no more "stresses" in my life. Plan to hear from me when I need to get on my soapbox, explain the poorly understood, debunk the popular fads, and share my now professional opinion. Like always, I appreciate feedback and encourage questions.
Here's to the start of my career and the amazing road that now follows!
