Karen Ketsche
Dietetic Intern
Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN
January 29, 2010
I grew up in Peachtree City, GA in a family that has always been active and health conscious. My father and one of my sisters run marathons competitively, my two other sisters are dedicated horseback riders, and my mom has run a marathon.
Needless to say, health and fitness have always been priorities for us! I was very serious about athletics and trained as a competitive gymnast for twelve years. Additionally, in high school I was involved in several extracurricular activities; my favorite was cheering for my high school’s basketball team. After high school I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences from Cornell University (May 2009). Now I am completing a dietetic internship at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. I hope to begin my career as a Registered Dietitian next summer.
