Attended: San Diego State University (San Diego, California) for my Bachelor's & Lamar University (Beaumont, Texas) for my Master's Dietetic Internship: Located in Beaumont, Texas in conjunction with Lamar University's Master's program. Program emphasized in nutrition education across a large span of rotations (acute care, post acute care, rehabilitation, diabetes outpatient, dialysis outpatient, community nutrition, WIC, bariatric outpatient, oncology, children's food and nutrition, food service and university/school nutrition). Enjoys about her job: The variety in the patients that I see! I absolutely love helping out patients the best that I can by being their cheerleader! This includes the newest addition of a bariatric support group that I lead to help provide a safe space for everyone in the pre and post surgery phase of their journey. Does in her free time: I enjoy reading a variety of novels (fiction, nonfiction, etc), painting abstract portraits, watching and playing basketball, going on walks with my dog, playing with my cat, going on hikes as well as re-watching shows (Scrubs, Fresh Prince, Walking Dead, etc). Favorite Food: Turkish food (due to family culture) shortly followed by Mexican and Indian food. I love foods that have a lot of flavor, spice and variety.
