About Me
Registered Dietitian
Jennie is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who supports the nutritional health and well-being of people in a variety of settings. With almost 20 years of supervisory and management experience in retail, grocery, and school nutrition environments, Jennie has demonstrated over the years that she can adapt to meet the needs of small and medium-sized teams.
Ten years ago, Jennie was the Bakery Department Manager for the Shoreline Fred Meyer. Most of the baked goods sold in the department were made from refined flours and had a high sugar content. Jennie asked herself a big question about her career choices:
Would she rather continue in the grocery setting and sell high sugar baked goods to community members OR choose a different career path? Another Fred Meyer team member, who was an Exercise Science student at a local community college, told Jennie about her college classes and the other students taking classes with her. A few of the other students were majoring in nutrition and starting on the pathway to become dietitians. Jennie asked her co-worker, “What is a dietitian?”
This pivotal conversation led to a career change choice, 4 years of college courses and the dietetic internship at Central Washington University, and an interesting variety of positions in several community health settings in the PNW.
Healthcare providers are required to complete continuing education and Jennie has completed the following training:
- WellCoaches Health Coaching, Module 1
- Menopause Diet Plan
- EmpoweRD Menopause Series
- Renal Dietitian with DaVita
With this specialized training, Jennie is better able to support people with their unique nutritional needs. If you would like to meet with Jennie in a telehealth setting, she is available via the Nourish platform.
