- About Me:
- I've been a Registered Dietitian for 5 years. I graduated from Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax with a Bsc. in Applied Human Nutrition (Dietetics) in 2002. I worked as a Clinical Dietitian in the area of Mental Health for 3 years and I'm currently on-staff at the Ottawa Hospital working part-time in the areas of hematology and nephrology. I am currently only working part-time as an RD as I am pursueing a career in medicine. I am finishing my 2nd year of medical school (M.D program) at the University of Ottawa. Yay! Half an doctor! ;) I'm madly in love with my partner Christopher and our two kitties. I love to cook, read, play soccer, downhill ski, skate, sing, hike, swim and do yoga.
