  • Nutrition

Isabella Sedor is a Year 3 graduate student in the Dietitian Nutritionist Program at the University of Pittsburgh where she plans to earn her Master’s Degree. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Pittsburgh in 2020. Isabella has held leadership positions in the school’s Student Dietetic Association during the previous two years as well. Her passion for working with other healthcare disciplines and individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities began during an Ireland study abroad trip two years ago. It was an opportunity to learn from several individuals, mostly pediatric, with diagnoses such as Down syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, and others, among an interdisciplinary team of students. From this trip, she realized that she wanted to learn how to be an advocate for individuals with disabilities as a future clinician.

Along with being a LEND Trainee, Isabella is completing her supervised experiential learning at UPMC for her clinical rotations. In addition, she is interning at the Adult Down Syndrome Center to help their registered dietitian implement a nutrition counseling program as a part of her community and public health rotation. Her professional goals include becoming a registered dietitian and working with a variety of patients, including individuals with developmental disabilities. She hopes to leave LEND with the knowledge and skills to provide patient-centered care through an interdisciplinary approach.
