Dietetic Intern Strengths

I have always had a passion for education and being at Saint Vincent Academy, I have grown into a passionate young woman. Academically, I have been exposed to many different classes such as American History, Women's History, Modern History, a very graphic freshman year health class, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. Each class has helped me in forming my passion of helping people and the ability to empathize. Through my history classes, I have learned about the need to help others and through my science classes, I have come to the decision to become a nutritionist/ registered dietician. My goal as a nutritionist is to help people take better care of themselves and it will start by acknowledging them on what they put into their body's and the

For health 490, I am seeking to get an internship that will help cultivate certain aspects of my personal, academic, and career development. When considering my personal development, what I strongly want to improve upon are skills such as leadership capabilities, public speaking, and health communication.

As a dietitian’s assistant, I organized the nutrition and allergy database for over 1,000 food and beverage items served through the University's food service system. My work helped students with food allergies avoid consuming allergy-containing foods and enabled more students to make healthier choices at the campus eateries. In addition, as a cooperative extension practicum student I. My articles were distributed to communities all across the state of Georgia. my WIC clients are positively impacted by my work in ways such as: decreasing rates of overweight and obese children and increasing breastfeeding rates.

Also, I wanted to update you on my school. I was accepted into a dietetic internship for next year, unfortunately it’s through Green Bay and not Milwaukee. I will have about 9 weeks where I can commute from Milwaukee (those rotation sites are in Oconomowoc, Port Washington, and Cedarburg), but I don’t know when they will occur. If I have the availability to attend class during St. Patrick’s practices, I would like to and perform if that’s possible. My program director has been very accommodating so far, trying to place me in more southern rotation sites and I already asked her about the St. Pats season. I just won’t know my schedule until closer to the fall. Let me know if me attending classes, even for a bit, might work or if you have any

It has been said that I am an extroverted person, so I can build a positive relationship with the other people without being bothering others.

The career field that I am interested in is being a clinical dietitian. A clinical dietitian works in a hospital and uses medical nutrition therapy to help her patients maintain health. She may work with patients with chronic diseases that need a specialized meal plan. She may also examine the nutrition levels of her patients and determine what nutritional deficiencies they may have. The overall goal for a clinical dietitian is to maintain the health of her patients. However, issues may arise concerning this goal. The clinical dietitian will have to work hard and be determined to keep patients from losing health, especially those who are already malnourished. Issues develop regarding health maintenance when there is miscommunication between the dietitian and patient, refusal of treatment from the patient, and treatment of the patient with the wrong nutritional information.

Most diet assistants at this hospital are current undergraduate nutrition majors aspiring to be registered dietitians. This means that every semester, their availability will change making it my responsibility to be flexible with their work schedules.

Having worked my way up from diet assistant, dietitian and now clinical manager at St. Agastine Hospital, employees will know that my many years of expertise will make me a better leader and provide a better working environment for years to

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express myself. Dietitian has been something I have always wanted to become. I am passionate about nutrition and health. I enjoy chemistry and food related subjects and I am interested in working for the health service. During my first year in high school, I have completed two weeks of shadowing with my dietitian uncle, at my hometown Jordan. I enjoyed every part of this experience. It enabled me to explore how the dietitian and the patient contact with each other, and how they both work together to set a plan to change the patient's behavior. The average age of the majority of patients that I saw during my shadowing week was between 30 and 50. Most of these patients were diagnosed with some form of
