Intern Spotlight: Richard Gutierrez

Each season we introduce a few of the KADDI dietetic interns completing their supervised practice with K&A Nutrition. Say hello to Richard Gutierrez!

What inspired you to become a dietitian?

I was inspired by my curiosity to know what happens to food after we eat it. Growing up I was always heavier than most, and I wanted to know how to change my eating habits to grow up healthy.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In 5 years I see myself as a dietitian helping, serving, and advocating for my patients, hopefully in a clinical or tactical nutrition setting.

Favorite food

My favorite food is sushi or Mexican food. You can find great places in Los Angeles.

Fun fact about you

I used to play 4 different instruments for 9 years.
