Hannah Mitchell: Hello There! My name is Hannah Mitchell and I am a recent grad from CSULA with a bachelor in Nutritional Science with an Emphasis in Alternative Nutrition. I have applied for DICAS this upcoming round through Priority Nutrition Care, a distance program, starting in January 2021. I am sending this email, as an outreach- I am looking for a community nutrition rotation, and thought I would give this a shot! Could take me on as an Intern for 6 weeks? (240 hours). If it is a possibility, there are different date slots I could provide, on behalf of a "Preceptor informational Form" for each of the potential internships that would need to be electronically submitted. Please let me know, Thank you so much for your time :) Future RD, Hannah Mitchell
