“I had the pleasure of working with Kirsten as she was a presenter at our 2019 SCAND Conference in Columbia, SC. Her presentation on the role of the registered dietitian nutritionist and agriculture was exactly what was needed to make our members aware that agriculture is part of dietetic practice. She opened the eyes of members on the sustainable role farmers and ranchers are playing in keeping our environment safe. She emphasized the true impact farmers and ranchers have on climate change and how that small percentage is misrepresented in the media. She also demonstrated the need to dietetic professionals to work with rural food providers on their nutritional health and well-being. She was an energetic and great ambassador for farmers and ranchers and their role in maintaining the health and well-being of Americans. I hope someday we can find a way to have her come and present again at one of our future meetings. Her enthusiasm, professionalism and speaking skills is why I highly recommend her as a speaker and as a consultant.”
