Intern Spotlight: Sadphire Lopez

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

What inspired you to become a dietitian?

My love of food, and wanting to better understand the diseases that impacted my family members. I want to help others understand how to prevent and treat them, and to educate people on how we can incorporate cultural foods into our daily meals without feeling guilty or like they do not serve us nutritionally.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

As a Registered Dietitian working toward helping people in my community, building my private practice, and starting my nonprofit organization.

Favorite food

I love traditional Mexican food, popcorn, and fruit. Eat the rainbow!

Fun fact about you

I live on a small ranch. I have 7 geese, chickens, 2 pigs, and cats (5 of 'em!), and who knows what else we will take on.
