My Excellent News

It's been a pretty good while since anybody has been on here! I wanted to get on and share some delightful news in the arena of... internship!!! Let me just start by saying that I am a very blessed woman.


There are 10 dietetic intern slots available in this wonderful valley of the sun (15 if you count the five slots requiring 2000 hours of related experience). I was lucky enough to be chosen for one of these 10 highly competitive slots. It is difficult to go to class and see so many who did not get an internship, but I do feel extremely blessed. So, I have officially accepted and begin the internship in August, finishing end of next April.

I am well on the road to becoming a registered dietitian. So many emotions! (I don't want to jinx myself by even saying that I am so close to finishing, but it's exciting and nerve-wrecking at the same time!)

Thank you so much for all of your love, support, and encouragement in my endeavors. I have the best family ever!!

Thanks Aunt LeNell!! It's an ASU non-degree internship (they also have a combined masters program). It's partnered with Banner Hospitals, so that's where most of my rotations will be, as well as school food services, WIC clinics, potentially eating disorder clinics, and others. I'm very excited and saving up the $ for it! :)

And thanks Amber! I'm soooooo glad you guys are coming down! I can't wait to meet baby Benson!
