Biography

The field of dietetics which started out for me as an SDSU graduate several years has served me well in providing opportunities in a variety of subject areas. I started out in clinical dietetics, then moved to community and public health type of work with SDSU Extension. In 2011, I became involved in the academic side of the nutrition and dietetics profession as an instructor and program director for an accredited nutrition & dietetic internship and accelerated bachelors to masters program. My experiences in accreditation and skill sets in program management led to current SDSU employment as the accreditation and academic program coordinator for the College of Education & Human Sciences.
