I'm Krystal. I am a self-identified Texlahoman. I am a graduate nutrition/dietetic student at UCO. As far back as I can remember, I've ALWAYS been interested in food. I remember making homemade croutons (toast and butter and garlic powder) in second grade to go with the salad I packed for my afternoon snack.
.
I completed my bachelors in marketing, but after graduating and working that 9-5, I knew my passion was elsewhere. I returned to school and completed the DTR program at TCC in Arlington, TX with the thought that eventually when I saved up the dough, I would earn that "RD" title. After graduating in 2015...
.
I joined the Peace Corps. To say this was the most challenging, yet fulfilling time in my life would be an understatement. Some of my best memories in the Peace Corps was heading the nutrition unit for our annual student health camp.
.
Through my DTR program and the Peace Corps, I discovered my main passion for working with vulnerable women and children, especially those affected by diabetes, hypertension, and HIV.
.
Moving Wright Along (my Instagram and blog) has been my outlet for my journey dating back to 2012 when the idea of becoming an RD was merely a pipedream.
.
I look forward to continuing to connect with all of you through this next part of the trip!
Happy National Watermelon Day! Whether you enjoy seedless, picnic, icebox, or yellow-fleshed, grab yourself one of these babies today. I'm whipping up a watermelon, mint, and lime salad with this lucky melon. How do you like your 🍉???
