"I chose KU’s dietetics and nutrition program to be pushed as a learner and a professional. The opportunity to learn at an academic medical center enticed me, and since the beginning, I have been challenged and supported by the most incredible educators and mentors. I knew that continuing my education at KU would not just expand my learning, but also prepare me with the skills and experiences for a successful career in dietetics."
