Ep 31 - Amanda Kruse, RD, CD
Conversation 31: The Story, Journey and Passion of Amanda Kruse, RD, CD “How can I help myself, how can I help others like me (a college athlete). I really thought originally, that I’m either going to be a coach or a sports dietitian. The more I went to school, learning about food service, I realized I could work in a university with students that were still at the impressionable age to make good choices. I’m a food service girl, currently working with K-12 kiddos but that’s where I started, in college dining services. That was the cool thing, having a dietitian there as a resource to be able to help students eat safely and healthfully. It was fantastic. ” - Amanda Kruse, RD, CD My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Amanda Kruse. While I was continuing my adventure in Indianapolis, then president-elect of the Indiana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Amanda Kruse just got done putting the final touches on their annual meeting. It was about 9:30 pm and I knew upon first meeting her, passion is everything to Amanda. Amanda learned a lot about being a collegiate athlete, but also being a college student and how important food is where the student is dining. She started her career being a resource for college students in dining services and quickly advanced her career in management in K-12 for the Indianapolis Public Schools. She values conversations like I do and finds her best ones come when talking with students about food. She not only works a full time job, but volunteers for her state affiliate, the Academy and loves being a preceptor. Please enjoy my conversation with Amanda.
