Sarah Eichberger, Refugee Nutritionist, began her career as a registered dietitian in 2004. Sarah finds working with underserved populations most rewarding and seeks opportunities to work with diverse populations. Her passion for diversity and social justice has taken her to the Navajo and Pima Native American Indians of the southwest, urban neighborhoods of high-risk Latina and African American women, and refugees from all corners of the globe. Sarah serves an active role in the legislative and program committees of the Chicago Dietetic Association and enjoys interacting with her peers from the Hunger and Environmental Nutrition (HEN) dietetic practice group. She is a believer in the idea of �civic dietetics,� an approach to the practice of dietetics that considers environmental, social, and economic impacts of food and agriculture. Sarah has mentored over fifteen dietetic interns from the University of Illinois Chicago and Loyola University and encourages interns to think about creative approaches in delivering nutrition services to marginalized populations. Sarah obtained a B.S. in dietetics with a specialization in health promotion from Michigan State University and completed her accredited internship with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health in Tempe, Arizona.
