Ep 12 - Brenda Shannon, RD, LD

Conversation 12:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Brenda Shannon RD, LD “I knew I always wanted to do clinical (dietetics) and I knew it was a good fit for me because it is interesting and exciting. It kind of fits my life over all. When I leave work, I leave work and I don’t  have to take it home with me.” - Brenda Shannon, RD, LD My conversation today is with Brenda Shannon, RD, LD By listening to my conversations, I hope you know by now how much I enjoy talking with registered dietitians and having them share their story. There is truly something special when I can share the story of a registered dietitian who had a huge impact in my life by being my preceptor, co-worker and now one of my most dearest friends. Brenda chose to become a registered dietitian a little later in life and has worked in a variety of settings with her current position as  a registered dietitian in Iowa who works for a special population of individuals at Glenwood Resource Center where her clients have significantly unique nutrition needs. This woman has taught me much and inspires me everyday. Please enjoy my conversation with Brenda.
