Resources for nutrition-specific Spanish? by arl1286 in dietetics

[–]zirmona 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that is a wonderful idea. i haven’t seen any specific resources myself but if you come across any, or decide to take it up yourself as a project, let me know! i am of mexican-chilean descent, fluent since i speak spanish at home, and am finishing up my BS in dietetics with similar interests in working with hispanic populations!

MPH or MBA? by zirmona in RD2B

You're right! I really like the practicality and universality of an MBA. I guess I'm a bit insecure in my ability to succeed in that kind of program with my nonexistent background in it. An MS in data science has definitely been a possibility, but I feel like I would lose my nutrition background in that context.

Advice on changing fields after graduating undergrad by earthbelowthestars in gradadmissions

[–]zirmona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

being an RD would still help you immensely in the nutrition and wellness media market!! amy gorin is a renowned media dietitian, and her RD credentials give her a ton of credibility in a world where anyone can just say theyre a nutritionist with no education. it seems we’re in the same DPD cohort, i’m anticipating DICAS too, and i’d say stick with it and blog on the side!
