Yes, it's been over two years, but I have returned.
Since my last post, I've been busy! I moved to Long Beach after getting accepted to California State University, Long Beach to finish my Nutrition and Dietetics degree. I worked at a private club as a Banquet Cook, and then at a local hospital as a Catering Associate and Diet Clerk in order to gain experience for my Nutrition career. Now, I'm refocusing my skill-building on Management and Journalism.
I'd like to eventually get into School Foodservice, being an Administrative Dietitian for a school district. My path to that career includes finishing my Bachelor's in Nutrition, getting into Utah State University's distance Dietetic Internship, passing the Registered Dietitian exam, and getting into Framingham State University's distance Master's degree program in Education with a School Nutrition Specialist certification and specialization. Somewhere in that mix, I would like to earn my certificate in Journalism through UCLA Extension so that I can be better equipped to achieve my dream job, which is to be a Food and Nutrition Writer.
Though I definitely have a passion for Nutrition, my passion for the written word has never left me, and I feel compelled to find a career niche that indulges my three passions: food, nutrition, and writing. Writing, and everything that goes along with it (grammar, spelling, punctuation, editing, etc.), come naturally and easily to me, though there's always room for improvement in the skills that we are blessed with. I also immensely enjoy writing, and I feel that it would be conducive to having a family one day, since careers in writing sometimes offer you the option of telecommuting.
With this blog post, I'm dusting off the cobwebs and refocusing my purpose, which is now to try out a variety of miscellaneous writing angles (interviews, ingredient profiles, recipes, easy meal ideas, food critiques, food trends, etc.) and find my professional writing voice.
*Ahem, ahem! Mi mi mi mi miiiiii...*
My next post (hopefully tomorrow!) will be a restaurant review of Kristy's Wood Oven and Wine Bar in Malibu, CA where I had (spoiler alert) an excellent brunch last weekend!
Good night, and tasty dreams!
