Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my new blog!

My name is Sam and I’m a registered dietitian living in North Carolina with my husband and our two dogs. I’ve wanted to start a nutrition blog for over a year now but decided to wait until I officially became an RD to take the plunge.

In my spare time (something I became reacquainted with after completing my dietetic internship), I love biking, piddling around in photography and playing my guitar. I also love to read.

So, about this blog… you can expect my posts to be nutrition-focused with pieces of my life sprinkled here and there. I’m hoping this blog can be a fun resource for anyone looking for motivation to eat better or just to live a healthier life. I’m a firm believer that even the smallest changes can make a big impact.

Since I’m blogging about nutrition… I have a BS in Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise and an MSEd in Health Education, both from Virginia Tech. I completed Utah State University’s dietetic internship program in November 2013 and passed my RD exam shortly thereafter. I’ve been a school nutritionist for 5.5 years and  I’m very interested in dietetics as it relates to disease prevention.

I’m excited to get this blog started. Please stop by again!
