Marketing and Digital Content Creator

The Collegiate and Professional Sports Dietitians Association (CPSDA) represents the vast majority of advanced practice registered dietitians in the United States who work full-time with athletes in colleges, professional sports, Olympic training centers, the U.S. Military and in law enforcement. CPSDA’s member-driven national not-for-profit organization mission is to create leaders who elevate the profession of Sports Nutrition through ethical, science-based, cutting-edge care.

CPSDA is dedicated to providing continuing education programs and events to keep sports dietitians apprised of new developments in the rapidly-evolving global food and dietary supplement supply; developing new education programs and events to prepare student CPSDA members to become sports dietitians; and for Sports RD members to continue to elevate themselves and the profession; and to partner with education-based organizations to restore and advance the firm belief that a varied balance of healthy whole foods is the optimal method of fueling athletic performance. Quantifying these contributions and conveying findings to key decision-makers in athletic programs throughout the U.S. is one of the primary reasons CPSDA was formed, along with our commitment to mentor the next generation of sports dietitians.
