Women, Infants and Children Program, WIC, seeks to bring more accessible services to LGBTQIA+ identities & diverse familiesBy: Kristen O’Brien*/Special to TRT—I was eager to find a job within my field after graduating from college in 2012 with a Nutrition and Dietetics degree.
I was slightly disadvantaged because I was not a Registered Dietitian, but I had always longed to work in the community. After searching for several months, I came across a WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) Nutritionist role that sparked my interest, and the rest, as they say, is history.As soon as I stepped through the door, or perhaps when the first baby climbed into my lap, I fell in love with working with the WIC community.
