Jordan Burgess, RD

I began my journey in nutrition as a student athlete through high school and college. Nutrition has always fascinated me and I see it as a tool to empower your body. I have always been interested in helping others in some way, but I didn't even know what a dietitian is until I was well into college.

After considering teaching or nursing, I decided to give dietetics a shot. After shadowing dietitians in the clinical, outpatient, and food service settings, I fell in love with the idea of helping others achieve their health goals using food.

I received my bachelor's degree in Nutrition at University of Central Arkansas and completed my internship at University of Idaho. Since school, I have worked in the clinical setting in a rehab hospital and in the outpatient setting. 

Working in the outpatient setting, visiting with patients one-on-one has been one of the most rewarding jobs I have ever had. The best part of my career is seeing clients' health and confidence improve. I feel grateful to be the little voice in the background empowering clients to reach their goals.
