Welcome to Growth & Guidance!

Hi, I’m Jennifer—Registered Dietitian, educator, speaker, and passionate mentor to rising nutrition professionals.

I created this space for dietitians who want more: more clarity, more confidence, more fulfillment in their careers. Whether you’re feeling burned out, navigating imposter thoughts, or just wondering, “Is this really what I signed up for?”—you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.

As a professor and program director, I’ve seen the full arc of a dietitian’s journey—from inspired student to unsure intern to impactful professional. I’ve also lived it myself. My PhD research focused on impostor phenomenon and job satisfaction among RDs, and I’m here to translate that insight into practical, empowering guidance for you.

Through blog posts, tools, and reflection prompts, you’ll find research-backed strategies, honest conversations, and just enough tough love to move forward with clarity.

You don’t have to prove you belong. You already do. Now let’s build a career that feels as aligned as it is meaningful.
