Meghan Dillon '18

Meghan Dillon graduated with her B.S. in Nutrition Science in 2018. Today, she is a nutrition associate with HelloFresh. We caught up with her to learn more about her Sage experience and the work she does today.

What was most beneficial about your Sage experience when you were a student?
The small class sizes allowed me to form strong professional relationships with my professors. I am still in touch with some today (five years later)!

How have you utilized what you learned at Sage in your career? Did it prepare you for your field?
The Russell Sage Nutrition department put a strong emphasis on building the skills needed to synthesize research. Research is the foundation of the nutrition profession. It is important to understand how to interpret research articles to stay up to date with the ever-evolving nutrition field. I often employ the research skills I developed at Sage to provide evidence-based nutrition recommendations to my company.

What do you enjoy most about your work?
I most enjoy performing nutrition analysis and developing accurate nutrition labels for our meals. Food labeling is an important tool to mass communicate nutrition information to the general public. It is rewarding to play a role in helping customers determine which meals are appropriate for their individual needs.
