Where Nutrition Grows

I'm Carolyn, a Registered Dietitian and mom to Samuel. I have fifteen years of experience as a clinical dietitian treating a variety of patient issues. I started my career in a large 800-bed Level 1 trauma center in NYC's Lower East Side, acting as a nutrition support dietitian to intensive care patients, those with cancer, HIV, diabetes, heart disease, and a plethora of other diseases. After leaving the city, I started working at a pediatric long-term care facility, providing nutrition therapy for medically fragile children. I earned a Bachelor of Science from The University of Rhode Island, a Master of Business Administration from CUNY Barch College, and completed my clinical Dietetic Internship with Sodexo in the NY-metro area, gaining invaluable experience at several top-notch New York hospitals. I am a Registered Dietitian with the Commision on Dietetic Registration, and am a Certified Dietitian in NY and CT.  I also have experience working in hospital quality and have earned my Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality credential, which means I have a complete understanding of data and research, and can effectively discern which peer-reviewed research articles make for strong, evidence-based nutritional science recommendations.
