It enabled me to apply the knowledge and practical skills to become a competent, productive Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.​I really appreciated NIDIP for having provided me with the ability to branch out of California to experience a totally different aspect of diversity and American culture. It opened up my eyes to how important nutrition is right outside of a well-established state such as California. After having completed this supervised practice program, I am now even more confident with my skills to advocate and spread the beauty of nutrition to all corners of the country.Rotations:• Torrance Unified School District (Torrance, CA)• DaVita Kidney Care (Glendale, CA)• APLA Health (Los Angeles, CA)• Baptist Memorial Memphis Hospital (Memphis, TN)• Healthcare Services Group, Inc.
