\n\t\tSouth Salem, N.Y. resident aims for career as clinical dietitian<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 4, 2009 \u2013 Stephanie Perruzza knew from a very young age that she wanted to become a nutritionist. As she prepares to graduate from the 溏心vlog免费B站 on May 17, she is one giant step closer to her goal.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cMy mother was a nutritionist, so I grew up with a very good diet,\u201d said Perruzza, a resident of South Salem, N.Y. \u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in the food I\u2019m eating and how it affects our bodies physically, emotionally and mentally.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tDuring her 溏心vlog免费B站 education, she worked with the campus dietitian to promote healthy eating and even prepared a cookbook for college students. Perruzza also assisted nutrition professor Kathleen Melanson in her metabolic research lab on a study to examine if gum chewing affects an individual\u2019s appetite.<\/p>\n


\n\tHer most exciting opportunity came as the first intern in the test kitchen at Everyday With Rachael Ray, the magazine featuring Food Network celebrity cook Rachael Ray.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cAll the recipes that people send into the magazine, we test them to see if they are what they say they are, make sure the recipe is understandable, and see if it tastes and looks good,\u201d Perruzza explained. \u201cWe would test about 12 recipes a day. It was very stressful, but a great experience. And I tasted a lot of great food.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cRachael was funny and nice. I had many odd job tasks, like trying to track down a Thanksgiving turkey in the middle of the summer when we were doing the November Thanksgiving issue, and calling wine stores all around the country,\u201d she said. \u201cWhatever they needed, I did it. Lots of food prepping and chopping. I learned a lot about cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tOn campus at 溏心vlog免费B站, Perruzza was the social chair of her sorority, Sigma Kappa, and served as secretary of the University\u2019s Nutrition Club, which included volunteering at local food banks, sponsoring fundraising activities, and attending the International Restaurant and Foodservice Show in New York City every year. She also was a member of the campus Snowboarding Club.<\/p>\n


\n\tAs graduation approaches, Perruzza is looking to the next big step in the process of becoming a registered dietitian. She will be enrolling in a combined internship-graduate degree program that will provide her with an introduction to the wide variety of career choices available to registered dietitians, from meal planning at hospital cafeterias to community work at different outpatient clinics, sports nutrition for professional athletes, and personal nutrition counseling.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI\u2019m very interested in the clinical side of dietetics and working with patients, though there are lots of options within each area,\u201d she said. \u201cI like working with people, I like that human interaction, and I\u2019ve had some experience working with a clinical nutritionist who had one-on-one consultations with patients and making recommendations to their diets.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m working toward. But where I end up is anyone\u2019s guess.\u201d<\/p>\n
