Heather Powers, RD
Background
My drive is to help people find approaches to empower themselves in living with diabetes. This drive comes from having seen the challenge of diabetes management within my own family.
I expect to work closely with you to continually fine-tune and build the skills for your success.
I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with 20+ years of experience working in an outpatient clinic. I have worked within an endocrinology practice for the past 9 years. I am a certified insulin pump trainer for patients within this practice.
I have a B.S. in biology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and additional didactic education for dietetics from Concordia College in Moorehead, MN.
I completed my dietetic internship through the University of Nevada Reno.
I live in Fairbanks, AK. I am a dog mom to 3 Jack Russell terriers. In my spare time, I love quilting, connecting with friends, and exploring the great outdoors of Alaska.
