Intern for Virginia Tech Sports Nutrition Oasis
Blacksburg, VA
July- August 2014/ January-May 2015 (Shift Leader)
As an intern for VT Sports Nutrition Oasis, I helped to provide nutritious foods before, during, and after workouts for over 20 athletic teams. I also provided recommendations to athletes on healthy snacks or supplement options available at Oasis. Nutritional information of food items was provided upon request. If an athlete had any severe food allergy, I would refer he or she to the registered dietitian. During the shift, I oversaw employees and interacted with athletes to make sure they had a satisfactory experience. My main responsibility as a shift leader was to serve as a liaison between registered dietitians and other interns as I communicate with the interns regarding the change of policy or procedures. As part of my internship project, I created a PowerPoint presentation on the importance of calcium intake for athletes. I was also named Employee of the Month for March 2015.
