Denee Butler, RD

Hi, I'm Denee! I've always been obsessed with nutrition. I witnessed malnutrition firsthand within my family, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to pursue nutrition as a career. I have done everything from working behind the counter in food service, prepping large meal plans for a daycare, and assisting mothers and babies in the WIC program, but every step of the way, I was aiming to be an RD.

I went to Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC (go Eagles!) and studied Human Nutrition there. I then completed my Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics also at Winthrop before completing my dietetic internship as an Eagle as well! It's safe to say Winthrop has been with me throughout this journey! On top of all that, I have my CLC certification which I obtained while working for the WIC department at the State of South Carolina. I am proud to be a certified lactation counselor.

I expect nothing more than I can give myself; the ability to have an open and honest conversation in a safe space. I want to be able to discuss anything and everything like we are sharing a cup of coffee. I want these conversations to be patient-centered. I want my patients to be experts in their own journey; I simply view myself as a guide in an ever-evolving nutrition path.
