Present Position Member How long have you been a RDN? Precisely 2 months upon writing this entry! So far, it's been an interesting two months. For how long have you been in the Habits Health Nutrition area? As somebody who lived through, and recuperated from, an eating disorder, I have intimate personal experience in the Behavior Health Nutrition location.

Why did you join BHN? Establishing a positive and caring relationship with ourselves, and our body is an important part of any recovery process. As we recover, we learn what it indicates to appreciate ourselves and our body, we learn that we must nurture ourselves with nutrient dense thoughts and foods.

I wish to remain in a community of health professionals who are passionate about recovering the mind and body with food, so that I can feel inspired and continue to grow my knowledge base relating to helping customers recover as a Registered Dietitian. How has Source assisted you professionally? Although I've been a member of BHN for just a few months, I have actually gotten lost in reading and absorbing information about the experiences other RDs have had in their practice.

What do you believe other RDs should learn about BHN? Behavioral Health Nutrition is an emerging subject in not just the nutrition and dietetics community, however in health care at big. Knowing how to incorporate emotional and mental health into our practice is necessary to supplying ideal entire person care. A little about me I'm fortunate to have actually been born and raised in a dynamic, varied, and progressive city south of Seattle called Renton.

From there, I went on to pursue my Master's of Public Health with a concentration in social justice and community education from Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington. Lastly, I completed my dietetic internship with Lafayette General Health in Lafayette, Louisiana. Life has given me incredible opportunities to live in various places like Louisiana, Oregon, and Washington where I've learnt more about the many methods one can experience the world.

I'm delighted to harness my skills as a new eating disorder dietitian and continue to grow in the field.
