Ep 29 - Jessie Hatch, MS, RDN, CNSC, CD

Conversation 29:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Jessie Hatch, MS, RDN, CNSC, CD “When I was finishing my degree, I had an amazing professor who instilled just a lot of passion and a lot of desire for life-long learning and she encouraged me to pursue a master's degree which ended up being a rollercoaster ride because she passed away during my project. So for awhile, I actually took a few steps back to find out if medical nutrition therapy was where I really needed to be. Those professionals that have gone before make you realize this is worth your time (dietetics), it is going to be hard work but you will love it and it’s worth it. I am always looking for opportunities that are meaningful to me.” - Jessie Hatch, MS, RDN, CNSC, CD My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Jessie Hatch. . Jessie has such a beautiful and poetic dietetic journey so far. She found an interest in nutrition at a young age with her family having a garden and always eating her fruits and vegetables. When she went to college, she took nutrition and fell in love with the class, navigating her way to her dietetics degree with the help of a few very important professors. She sheds some light on getting a masters degree, always being open to opportunities and embracing the importance of being a life-long learner. She is currently working passionately with moms and babies, including neonatals, being in the media providing education and serving as president of the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.   Please enjoy my conversation with Jessie.   This Episode is Sponsored by Jolly Time Healthy Pop Popcorn.
