Retail Dietitian Profiles

I started with Giant Eagle 14 years ago as a student intern, and over the years my role has evolved into Quality Assurance Manager overseeing Nutrition and Regulatory services for our Own Brand products.

I’m currently the Health and Wellness Strategy Manager at Schnucks and I split my time into two main priorities.

​​​​​​​As Fresh Thyme Market’s Corporate Registered Dietitian, Spokesperson and Health and Wellness Strategy Manager I wear many hats as most retail dietitians do.

​​​​​​​My role at Hy-Vee hasn't changed since I started nearly 14 years ago. How I do my job has changed, but the focus on translating science-based information into applicable information to help customers find solutions for their nutrition obstacles has not changed. My focus every day is helping bridge the gap of where customers want to be with nutrition and where they actually are.

​​​​​​​I am the Dietitian Coordinator for Harmons. My role is to coordinate the activities of the dietitian team, assist in setting priorities, arrange for marketing support, plan and implement schematics for the Healthy Checkout Lanes, advise and assist our eCommerce, Grocery and Private Label teams, and provide nutrition education to our customers and associates.

My role as an H-E-B Registered Dietitian primarily consists of delivering one-on-one personalized nutrition consultations to patients. Services may be covered by insurance or patient can choose to self-pay. I think of my job as working for a private practice within a larger company.
