Philosophy of Medicine
"I chose to be a dietitian because of my interest in healthy living and eating to promote good health. I later became a diabetes educator because of my growing interest in diabetes since I was diagnosed with the disease myself. I feel my understanding of how life is with diabetes helps me support and educate my patients."
