"Becoming a CDCES has been a goal of mine since I began working at the Helen O. Dickens Center for Women’s Health. Our founder, Dr. Helen O. Dickens, has always been an inspirational figure—but it is her unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality care to everyone, regardless of their means, that truly motivated me to pursue the CDCES certification.

My path to becoming a CDCES was anything but linear. After several years coaching college field hockey, I returned to school to earn a post-baccalaureate degree in nutrition and completed my dietetic internship. I then gained experience working in WIC and long-term care before returning to the Dickens Center, where I now support pregnant patients and work closely with those in the Perinatal Diabetes Program.

I am incredibly grateful to the CDCES Scholarship Program for expanding access to certification and helping make this milestone possible."
