Justine Glover

Justine completed their Bachelor of Applied Science in Nutrition and Food at Ryerson University in 2017. After graduation, Justine didn’t get accepted to an internship program right away and instead worked for a full year in an unrelated, but applicable field for a not-for-profit organization. Living in Wasaga Beach where they grew up, their job took them all over Northern Ontario, where they were reminded of their love for nature and the beauty of the North.  In 2018-2019 Justine completed their postgraduate practicum in Sault Ste. Marie with placements in their hometown of Wasaga Beach, Barrie and up north in Sioux Lookout.  After completing the internship, they accepted a full-time job as a Registered Dietitian in Wawa, Ontario with the Family Health Team and the Lady Dunn Health Centre. With internship placements in pediatrics, renal, diabetes and a community health centre, to name a few, Justine felt prepared to practice as a lone dietitian in a rural community. The range of roles encompassed in the day-to-day brings constant excitement and challenges. Justine is thankful for the relationships built with internship preceptors and fellow interns during their time at NODIP that help support them in practice now. Justine now is a preceptor for both the NODIP and MHSc in Nutrition Communication programs at Ryerson.  After celebrating two years of living and working in Wawa, Justine has no plans of leaving, is planting their roots, and building lasting relationships in the community.
