SWAG合集 Online Student Michelle Nezolosky of New York dreams of one day being on the 鈥淭oday Show鈥 sharing all her knowledge about the good work that is being done in the field of dietetics. First things first; she is seeking to establish credibility by obtaining her Registered Dietitian credential.

Nezolosky is pursuing a dietetics degree from Kansas State University while also taking SWAG合集 Online classes to speed up the process and save money. She said she has found everything she is looking for to help supplement her university classes through SWAG合集 Online鈥檚 offerings.

鈥淢y interactions with SWAG合集 instructors have been fantastic,鈥 she said. 鈥淎ll instructors I have worked with have been incredibly responsive, friendly, and caring. Taking courses through SWAG合集 should help my graduation timeline immensely. I can take an eight-week course really at any time throughout the academic semesters. Taking three courses at SWAG合集 Online has already saved me approximately $3,000.鈥

Already holding two degrees, Nezolosky understands the value of efficiency on her educational journey听so she can begin doing the real work she is passionate about as soon as possible. She decided to switch careers after eight years in cancer research and is eager to get started.

鈥淚 would like to graduate faster so I can utilize my degree and clinical license sooner,鈥 she said. 鈥淥ne of the many things that the pandemic has taught us is that now, more than ever, we all really need to take care of ourselves. Many people I know are in dire need of mental and/or physical health resources. I want to educate people on how dietetics plays an integral role in self-care. Eating well leads to overall better mental and physical health.鈥

Nezolosky said the flexibility and relaxed nature of online classes is something that really appeals to her.

鈥淥nline coursework allows me to be in the driver鈥檚 seat of my education,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t allows me to do what works best for me in terms of my learning experience and overall education. If I wake up and feel like staying in workout clothes all day to study, which I do often, then I can do just that.鈥

Nezolosky hopes to open her own private practice someday and open up a line of grocery stores within communities in NYC.

鈥淚 am really passionate about improving access to health resources at the individual and the community level,鈥 she said. 鈥淥n an individual level, I want to educate people on eating to improve health and manage disease. Within the community, I want to improve access to healthy foods within under-resourced communities. The grocery stores would carry highly discounted healthy foods.鈥
