She received her Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from the University of Texas at Austin and immediately began working in community nutrition, providing group instruction to both adults and children. While working at the community level, she realized she wanted to work one-on-one with individuals requiring specialized diets. She became a Registered Dietitian after completing a Dietetic Internship at the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio. Then, in 2012, she joined the staff of Northeast Methodist Hospital as a clinical dietitian. Bridget says she enjoys her job because she gets to help patients understand the importance of nutrition, especially to support the healing process and to gain the knowledge to make healthy lifestyle choices after getting discharged from the hospital.
