Ep 36 - Rachel Wall RD, LD

Conversation 36: The Story, Journey and Passion of Rachel Wall, RD, LD “By working in Extension, I get to have feelers within a lot of areas of nutrition. One of the other things I love about my job is the team I get to work with. I feel we are very supportive of each other. There are 12 Nutrition and Wellness Specialist across the state that do the nutrition and wellness programming. I think the great part is, even though I might not see them everyday, we can divide and conquer. Extension gives you the opportunity to explore your personal interests. ” - Rachel Wall RD, LD My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Rachel Wall. Rachel and I had a great conversation today. Rachel radiates passion for being a Registered Dietitian and is flourishing as a Nutrition and Wellness Specialist for the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. I didn’t not get a lot of experience with Extension when I was in my internship and I think it is very important for many of us to look more into this career opportunity. Rachel and I share many similar interests when it comes to food, cooking and our favorite fruit, cherries. She enjoys and excels as an expert in media by doing a monthly live TV segment and you must follow her Instagram feed for beautiful food photos of recipes she is recreating at home. Another fun and amazing tidbit about Rachel is she has been training and doing triathlons this summer. Please enjoy my conversation with Rachel.
