Background
Hello, my name is Tamara Herman and I studied at Truett-McConnell College and earned two Associates Degrees, then completed my Bachelor's of Science in Dietetics from The University of Georgia. I completed my Dietetic Internship and my Masters of Science in Clinical Nutrition from NYIT (New York Institute of Technology)to gain the credential of RD, LD (Registered Dietitian/Licensed Dietitian). At the time of graduation from NYIT, I was the recipient of the "Clinical Dietetic Award" for the graduating class of 2022 at NYIT. I also hold the credential "CDCES" (Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist) for the past , and I completed a Health Coaching Course through Emory University in Atlanta, GA. I have 26 years experience as a Registered and Licensed Dietitian and 21 years as a Diabetes Care & Education Specialist. I chose this career field of nutrition and diabetes education because I have juggle nutrition, activity, and Type 1 diabetes since the age of 8. I see this as an opportunity to encourage others.

Approach
"As an RD, I like to hear from the client what brings them to my services. I use questions to better understand the thought process of the client, followed by evidence-based responses to help confirm nutrition accuracy. I use visual aids with diabetes and weight loss clients. My goal is to make sure the client has complete understanding of how to apply the education materials and the plan designed for meeting their goals at the beginning and the end of the session."
