About Lynette Iseli

I grew up in Oregon and I came to Corvallis to complete my undergraduate degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at Oregon State University. I decided to remain here to complete my Dietetic Internship at OSU. My love of food is one driver of my decision to enter the field of dietetics. I love to bake delicious desserts for myself and for others to enjoy. I know, this does seem contrary to the profession I will soon be part of. Fortunately my other hobby, working out, helps offset my baking. Although I don't know which area of dietetics I will ultimately end up in, I suspect I will be happiest if food can be involved.
