Short-term Goals
In the next few years, I plan on completing my master's degree and applying my knowledge of nutrition as a clinical dietitian. I believe starting out in a hospital setting will give me a strong foundation for the rest of my career. Specialty areas I will want to focus on while in the clinical setting are NICU, oncology, and pediatrics.
Long-term Goals
Over the next 5-15 years, I see myself moving out of the clinical setting and onto some of the different realms of dietetics. I am interested in the business and management aspect of food in the marketplace, and would love to eventually work for a food company. As a dietitian in the corporate setting, I can utilize my nutrition knowledge to help companies improve the health of existing products while also developing new nutritious items to have a large-scale impact on America's health.
