Hello, I’m Liz. I’m a writer, editor and registered dietitian nutritionist, but most of all – I’m a foodie at heart. I have a great appreciation and respect for excellent food and well-written content. I am an experienced registered dietitian nutritionist with 15+ years in the field. I have a passion for sharing accurate, evidence-based and relevant content that’s focused on food, nutrition and health & wellness-related topics for both consumers and health professionals. As a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, I have served in multiple volunteer leadership roles with several dietetic practice groups. In particular, I have served as the Newsletter Editor for two groups: Dietitians in Business and Communications (2010-2015) and Food and Culinary Professionals (2020 – 2022). I enjoy mentoring students and interns as well as giving back to the profession. My hope is that I can work with several students/interns through this platform so we can both learn from each other and make it a win-win relationship for both of us.
