Hello! My name is Kelly Currier. I am a Registered Dietitian and former college athlete. I received a Bachelor’s of Science in Food Science and Nutrition (Clemson University, 2007) and a Master’s of Science in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology (University of Florida, 2010). I have worked with college athletes as a sports nutritionist (University of Florida 2008-2009; Florida State University, 2010). I later transitioned to working as a clinical dietitian in an acute care hospital (2013-2020). In this setting I worked with acute and chronically ill adults, assessing their nutrition status and offering appropriate nutrition treatment and education. I educated patients on appropriate nutrition for diabetes, cancer, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, obesity, Crohn's disease, and much more. I was also a Certified Nutrition Support Specialist (2015-2020) where I specialized in feeding patients that were not able to eat by mouth, managing their nutrition through non-oral routes (i.e. tube feeding). 

I played competitive soccer up to age 21, including 4 years as a starter and 1 year as a captain at Clemson University. In my year as captain I helped lead our team to an Elite 8 appearance in the NCAA tournament. I have experience coaching youth soccer and training athletes as part of my post-collegiate career. I enjoy helping soccer players to improve their footwork and confidence on the ball, which can be done virtually as it requires little space!

I have 3 children that I recently began homeschooling. I am passionate about raising healthy eaters and teaching youth important foundational truths about nutrition. In a culture that celebrates fad diets, our children need a good foundational understanding of a well-balanced diet, intuitive eating, and positive body image. 

I am also an avid gardener and proud owner of egg-laying chickens! I am doing my best to grow as much of my own food as possible.

I am eager to teach classes now as my career! I am not only an expert in nutrition and soccer, I am EXCITED to teach these subjects to the next generation!
