Retail Dietitian Profiles

As we reflect on this past year, it’s a great time to look back at what topics and conversations resonated with our readers the most. Here’s a look at our TOP FIVE MOST READ RDBA ARTICLES from sharpening your business skills to learning lessons from peers.

I’m one of 30 corporate Hy-Vee dietitians where I serve as a media spokesperson providing credible nutrition information (in-person and virtually) to customers and the community via TV commercials, local news interviews, social media, radio interviews and newspaper articles.

I am an in-store retail dietitian, a position I have held for the past 6 ½ years.  I am involved in community events, associate wellness and nutrition counseling.  Many of these programs are currently virtual because of the pandemic. I am an avid team player, and I don’t hesitate to get involved in any area of the store to meet the customer needs.

Just over a month ago I put a bow on my twelve-year career as a retail dietitian. I ended my time in the retail grocery industry as the Senior Director of Marketing & Communications for Festival Foods, but my role as a retail dietitian without a job description was where it all started.

I'm a Nutrition Communications Specialist with Festival Foods. I'm part of a three-person RD team known as the Mealtime Mentors. As part of my role, I help develop recipes for our Meal Ideas site, facilitate Appetite, the weekly email presented by the Mealtime Mentors, host virtual cooking classes, and work with vendors to promote new innovations.

Currently, I help lead our Hy-Vee dietitian team in our corporate initiatives. My tasks range from supervising team progression to collaborating with other teams and helping push forward our initiatives and branding to informing customers and media about health and nutrition. 

I have the pleasure of serving the H-E-B Nutrition Services department as an operations lead for the South Texas regions, including Laredo, the Rio Grande Valley, and Corpus Christi.
