What Clients Are Saying

You’ve updated your resume, scrolled every job board, and searched “non-traditional dietitian roles”… but you still feel stuck and unsure of what’s next.

Every morning, you open your email or check the job boards, hoping that maybe today something different will show up — a role that feels aligned, interesting, and actually pays you what you’re worth. But instead, it’s more of the same:

Hospital jobs, foodservice manager roles and dozens if not hundreds of Telehealth roles… positions you’ve either already tried or already outgrown.

And the weight of that hits you. Not just the disappointment — but the uncertainty. You start wondering:

  • “What else can I even do as an RD?”
  • “Why does everyone else seem to find these cool roles?”
  • “Do I need to go back to school?”
  • “How do I even start pivoting?”

Here’s the reality: The most interesting RD roles rarely show up on traditional job boards.


Corporate wellness positions, food tech roles, research opportunities, freelance consulting, nutrition  informatics  jobs – these positions exist, but they’re not always posted where you’re looking. And even when you find them, it’s not always clear how to translate your  experience into language that gets you hired.

The good news? You don’t need to figure this out alone. There’s a clear, structured process for discovering these opportunities, positioning yourself strategically, and landing roles that align with your goals – without going back to school or starting from scratch.

Career Strategist for Dietitians Who Are Ready for More

Kelan Sarnoff, dietitian career coach

Here’s what I know: 

You’re scrolling job boards and only seeing the same clinical roles. You’re wondering if there’s anything else out there for you, or if you’re qualified for positions that sound interesting but don’t match your current job title. You’re updating your resume for the tenth time, hoping this version will finally get you noticed.

And you’re tired. Tired of feeling undervalued. Tired of not knowing how to talk about your skills in a way that opens doors. Tired of watching other dietitians land “cool” roles while you’re stuck wondering, “How did they even find that job?”

I’ve been on the other side. I’ve sat on hiring committees. I’ve reviewed hundreds of RD applications. And I’ve watched talented dietitians undersell themselves, fumble interviews, and accept offers that undervalue them, not because they weren’t qualified, but because they didn’t know how to position what they already had.

I used these same strategies to pivot from clinical nutrition into a university faculty role without teaching experience. The difference wasn’t my qualifications- it was my messaging, my strategy, and my confidence in translating my experience. My approach is structured, strategic, and supportive.

I don’t give vague career advice or tell you to “just network more.” I teach you how to identify transferable skills, discover non-traditional paths, and communicate your value in a way that gets you hired and paid what you deserve.

If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start moving toward work that excites you, let’s talk.
