"I'm excited at the opportunity to work at your children's hospital. I've spent ten years as a dietitian within the school district and thrived in that environment. I was able to implement new programs, teach our children healthy eating habits as well as the importance of regularly exercising. I was recognized by the Superintendent of the school district for bringing a new and fun way for our kids to learn about eating right."
