About My Sodexo Internship

ABOUT My Sodexo Internship

I gained a lot of practical experience in a variety of nutrition and dietetics areas while as a dietetic intern at Sodexo. I had the opportunity to participate in numerous rotations in a variety of locations, including hospitals, long-term care institutions, schools, and community organizations.
During your internship, I learned about:
1. Medical nutrition therapy: I collaborated with patients to create dietary regimens that target particular medical diseases including diabetes, heart disease, or renal illness.

2. Food service management: I learned about menu design, food security, and the administration of food service operations.
3. Community nutrition: I volunteered at a local food bank, dialysis center, and eating disorder clinic.
I got the chance to work with a range of patients, clients, and organizations throughout my internship, and I was able to develop useful skills that will help you become ready for a future in nutrition and dietetics.

Travel

I love to travel and explore different countries and their cuisines. Some of my favorite places that I have visited include Mexico and Israel. I have also experienced geographic and cultural food differences throughout the United States. In my travels to the east coast, west coast, Midwest and southern states, and Alaska.  

Bake

I love to bake and cook for family get togethers. My favorite things to bake are cookies and cake. Cookies can be made into so many different shapes and flavors while decorating a cake allows my creativity to shine.

Ski

During my winter breaks, I love to ski. Skiing is a fun way to be active, explore the outdoors, and hang out with friends. I enjoy skiing in different places and experiencing the different scenic views that they have to offer. I have been skiing in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Of course, I love topping off my day with smores and hot chocolate by the fireplace. I can’t wait to explore more ski slopes!

Civic Engagement

I enjoyed working to help one of my neighbors in his election to public office. Learning about voting, elections, and political involvement was a fascinating experience.
