May 2017 - Jul 2021
At New Hanover Regional Medical Center, I worked as an inpatient dietitian doing nutrition assessments on hospitalized patients before transitioning to the outpatient Cardiopulmonary Rehab center at Cape Fear Heart Associates. At Cardiopulmonary Rehab, I provided individual nutrition counseling to patients and their family members, taught group education classes on various nutrition topics (Food & Cholesterol, Sodium & Blood Pressure, etc), and provided food demonstrations to patients showing healthier versions of popular recipes. I worked with patients in both Traditional Cardiac Rehab and Intensive Cardiac Rehab, also known as the Ornish Lifestyle Medicine program. Many of our cardiac and pulmonary patients were also diabetic, so I frequently provided one-on-one diabetes education to explain the relationship between food, blood sugar levels, and exercise.

While working for Lower Cape Fear LifeCare (formally known as Lower Cape Fear Hospice) I completed nutrition assessments for patients under hospice care in regions of North Carolina and South Carolina. I provided nutrition recommendations for management of disease related symptoms, completed tube feeding assessments, and gave specific nutrient recommendations for wound care, anemia, etc. I also counseled patients and family members about normal changes in appetite and eating patterns at the end of life.
