I chose to major in Nutrition because food, nutrition, and improving the health of others have always interested me. I am intrigued by the courses that are offered in this major. The degree that includes this major is a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health which is appealing to me due to the broadness.

A club that I can get involved in on campus is S.A.N.D. This is the Student Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This club is a good option because it introduces me to fellow Nutrition majors and Professors. It also allows me to participate in events that will be helpful for my future college experience and career.

I could join the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics through their EatRight Pro organization. This is the largest organization of nutrition and dietetics practitioners and represents students as well. The resources this membership allows are very useful for aspiring Registered Dietitians.

I can reach out to Professors about mentoring and research opportunities. Reaching out to my Professors will not only give me valuable experiences, but it will also create relationships that can be useful for the future.

I could also participate in KNH 177 where I do an independent study with a Professor. This is a very valuable and unique experience that Miami University offers. This course allows me to focus on a specific nutrition topic that interests me. It will give me experience in the field as well as connections.

After gaining experience at Miami University, I can expand and look into experiences at other facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, and community centers. This will provide me with connections outside of school as well as valuable experience.

After gaining experience through Miami and job shadowing, I can look into internships that interest me. This allows me to focus on a smaller segment of nutrition. This is a great experience that creates connections and gives me more in-depth experience.

After completing the required courses, I will graduate from Miami University with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health. I will also receive verification statements shortly after graduating from completing various courses and assignments throughout my college experience. My degree along with the verification statements will greatly help me in my future career.

Upon graduating, I plan on entering the job field to gain even more experience. I would like to work prior to applying for graduate school to receive some compensation and gain valuable experience. This will also give me time to think about exactly what I wish to do in the future.

During my job directly after graduation, I will look into applying for graduate school. I will likely apply for an online program to allow me to continue working while completing school. I will likely need three letters of recommendation to apply for graduate school, so the relationships I create early in my college career are vital. I will likely not enter the portal and get matched with a school. I would like to take a break after school to work and apply on my own at a later date.

I will likely attend a graduate school that has a combined Dietetic Internship/Master's Degree program. This will provide me with a set path that makes the most of my time. It will also provide me with flexibility due to the online nature of the class and in-person internships.

After completing graduate school and the internship, I will sit for the registered dietitian exam. This exam is administered my the Commission on Dietetic Registration and will require careful studying. Upon passing this exam, I will be a registered dietitian.

After becoming a registered dietitian, I plan on receiving a certificate in a specific area of dietetics. I would like to become certified in pediatric nutrition as I have always wanted to work with a younger population. I will need to complete another exam to gain this certification. Gaining this certificate will make me more qualified for the careers I am interested in.

After completing undergrad, an entry level job, graduate school, an internship, sitting for the R.D. exam, and gaining a certificate, I will hopefully be able to apply for my dream job. Ideally, I would work at a children's hospital or in a small family practice. All of my experience should properly qualify me for my dream job.
