Zena Duckett, RD

..Hello and Welcome! I am so glad that you are here! I am a Registered Dietitian, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and have a passion for both food and nutrition. I pursed my love for food and nutrition when I double majored and received a Bachelor of Arts degree and Bachelor of Science degree in both Culinary Arts and Culinary Nutrition, respectively, with minors in Leadership and Biological Studies from Johnson & Wales University, in Providence, RI. Working both locally and abroad as a chef and culinary professional providing opulent experiences to clients and customers. As my passion for nutrition continued, I pursued a Master’s Degree in Nutrition Education, with a Minor in Cultural Competency from Immaculata University, in Immaculata, PA.

When not seeing patients in an outpatient setting, I work as a Clinical Dietitian at a teaching hospital. On a typical day I provide medical nutrition therapy to an array of patients who range in acuity, with varying comorbidities, requiring increased nutrient needs and diet & lifestyle education.

Believing that learning is a lifelong journey and can enhance one’s understanding of the world around us, I actively participate in courses and activities that allow me to continue to expand my knowledge. I am also a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), using my continued education to provide up to date, evidence-based education to clients.

Through experience, I believe that working together with clients is the cornerstone to successfully achieving goals. My approach is meeting you where you are, listening to your goals, and providing individualized education and motivation to help you reach those goals.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter. You can catch us outside enjoying new restaurants, traveling, listening to live music or enjoying the outdoors. Thank you for visiting my page and I look forward to working with you in the future!
