After departing dear old Houston High, I attended UTK like many others. I received my BS degree in Dietetics/Nutrition in 2000. Moved to Tallahassee, where I received my MS in Clinical and Sports Nutrition and completed my dietetic internship at FSU in 2002. Also became certified as a Health/Fitness Instructor through ACSM. Packed up and headed west for a stint in Calabasas, California. Worked with Northeast Valley Health Corporation as a supervisor in a WIC clinic in Reseda, CA. Learned some Spanish and became a Certified Lactation Educator. Moved on to McKinney, Texas and worked as a Nutrition Education Coordinator for a WIC clinic in Sherman, TX. Only lived in TX for a couple of months, and headed back to Memphis. Worked as a Nutritionist in a WIC clinic for the Health Department (yes, same job as Sarah Bosserman Yates-different clinic) for about a year and a half. During this time I ran 3 half marathons and 2 full marathons, including New York last November. Recently moved to Austin, TX, and working
as an Assistant Director for Outreach Health Services' WIC program. I now manage 5 clinics in the central Texas area, and enjoying the traveling associated with the job. Looking forward to running in the Livestrong Challenge 10K in October (recovering from hip injury post-NY). NO hubby, NO kids, and no plans to change either of these. Loving life as is for now!See you in July.
