She graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Cognitive Science and Spanish before changing her career focus to dietetics. She holds a Master of Public Health in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Michigan and completed a dietetic internship at Edward Hines, Jr, VA Hospital. She loves that as a dietitian she is surrounded by the power of good food every day – she even named her rescue cat Albóndiga, which means “meatball” in Spanish. She enjoys being active and never turns down trying new Chicago restaurants. Connect with Amanda on Twitter or Instagram @IzzyEatsRD.
