2021 Outstanding Student Member of the Year Award Winner
Elizabeth Zaebst
In the Spring of 2021, Elizabeth Zaebst earned her Master of Public Health degree at the University of Michigan, where she studied Nutritional Sciences with a concentration in Dietetics. Elizabeth is currently a Dietetic Intern with the University of Michigan School of Public Health Dietetic Internship Program. Upon the completion of her dietetic internship and credentialing exam, Elizabeth aspires to work in pediatric nutrition in a clinical setting. In a volunteer capacity, Elizabeth anticipates working with community nutrition organizations, potentially moving into that area for her full-time career once she becomes a CDR Board Certified Pediatric Specialist.
Elizabeth has been an active member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, particularly at the state level, where she has served as a Student Representative on the State Board of the Michigan Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (MiAND) and as an active member of the Social Media, Conference Planning, and Licensure Committees. She is currently serving as a Website Correspondent for the MiAND Dietetic Licensure Committee in Michigan. If given the opportunity, Elizabeth hopes to expand upon this experience by serving on committees and in leadership roles for the Public Health Community Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group (PHCN DPG), and at the national level with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
