I have worked in almost every field of dietetics in my career but my passion is working with aging adults. I have spent more than half my career specializing in long term care and now hospice/palliative care.

Tiffany Nicholson, RD, MSc

I have always been interested in nutrition and spent over decade in hospitality management. I decided I wanted more in depth knowledge of nutrition and therefore went back to University in my late 20’s to pursue a BSc in human nutritional sciences. I found I really enjoyed research and in 2013 decided to complete a Master’s in human nutritional sciences as well.

Rachel Deal, RD

Working in a position that’s been historically held by a RN (Registered Nurse), it’s been a small fight to get my facility to recognize that I am an appropriate candidate for my job, especially since my accrediting body lists RDs as a great fit for the role.

Cara Harbstreet, RD, MS, LD

I worked a number of jobs throughout college, some food related and some less so. I even worked at a brewery for a short time before returning to school for my Master’s program! During my last semester an opportunity opened, and although I knew things would be hectic, I pounced on the chance to land my dream job. It was a perfect fit and I’ve been there ever since!

We are not the food police! I am not walking around in my off hours counting your calories while you eat in front of me, and frankly I don’t care what your choices are!

I am passionate about all aspects of dietetics. I am passionate about food and health and human interactions with them and the everyday trends that we see. Specifically, I am very passionate about improving the food systems and community health and interested in upstream thinking. I am interested in health promotion and disease prevention through healthy eating and positive lifestyle changes.
