Community Nutrition Rotation
During my time at The Wright Center, I gained insightful experiences in the Community Nutrition field and grew as a nutrition professional in my ability to present to various audiences, create nutrition education materials about different topics, and advocate for the Nutrition & Dietetics profession.

During one of the Walk with a Doc events, I created a bifold brochure as part of a group education project. The brochure highlighted one of the most seasonal products ( sunflowers and sunflower seeds) and outlined their health benefits. It also included a healthy Mediterranean salad recipe (Fattoush) to encourage participants to incorporate nutritious, seasonal foods into their diets.
I had the honor of contributing to this special community event focused on children’s wellness, featuring interactive activities that encouraged healthy habits and positive lifestyle choices. My involvement included attending planning meetings, preparing labels and raffle items, volunteering to distribute flyers to local community centers, and assisting with shopping for the tools and equipment needed to support the event.
The event offered a variety of engaging stations such as raffles, local health organization booths, a dental health station, a nutrition station, yoga and physical activity sessions, face painting, back-to-school gift giveaways, and more.
In addition to these activities, I prepared a parent survey to gather feedback, designed a physical activity flyer for children with simple at-home exercises, and organized a low-sugar homemade snack bag station to promote healthier eating
