Hey Everyone! My Name is Marsha Girgis and I am a NY Sodexo Dietetic Intern. My primary site is at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey, and I can’t imagine completing my internship anywhere else! On the first day of this internship, the Clinical Nutrition Manager said to me “Who you are today is not who you will be at the end of this internship.” With only 3 months left of this internship, she couldn’t have been more right! With skilled and knowledgeable dietitians, I’ve had amazing hands-on clinical experience in the ICU and in different units of the hospital. I completed my concentration, diabetes, in the diabetes center at Newark Beth Israel and St. Michaels Medical Center. I’ve had the opportunity to teach many classes to patients with gestational diabetes, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes. At this time, I am completing my food service management rotation at the Benjamin Moore headquarters, Mercedes Benz Headquarters, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. I am fortunate enough to be getting a well-rounded experience at each location. Currently, I am working on a wellness event at the Benjamin Moore Headquarters for which I am super excited! This event is an opportunity for me to put my creativity, strong passion, and the knowledge I’ve gained to work to the benefit of others. I am very grateful that Sodexo has given me such a diverse and well-rounded experience in the field of nutrition and dietetics!
