 | MissionMy mission is to help people with nutrition modifications that can benefit them throughout their lives. Helping people be successful in their nutritional choices helps them to live long healthy productive lives. About Belinda HeathI am a senior at Jacksonville State University with a focused study area of Dietetics. I am happily married with two wonderful children. I have a teenage son who was diagnosed with Type I diabetes as a teenager. This diagnosis gave me the desire to help him as well as other children with this diagnosis to eat healthy. Eating healthy gives my son better blood sugar control which allows his body to be healthier. My desire is to help children with diabetes learn healthy eating habits that will follow them into adulthood giving them the ability to live life to the fullest.Short-Term Goal: Graduate from Jacksonville State University in December 2014. I want to be accepted in an internship program that focuses on childhood nutrition and allows me to work towards my graduate degree at the same time. Long-Term Goals: Become a Registered Dietitian with a focus towards childhood diabetes and work towards being a Certified Diabetes Educator. |
