People who work for Texas WIC are naturally friendly and supportive. So it's no
surprise that this year's class of dietetic interns instantly bonded and started
supporting each other the day they met in January 2018. That support lasted
throughout their rotations, assignments and all aspects of the 8-month experi-
ence.W IC When the interns graduated in August and returned to their local clinics, their
shared support continued. They cheered each other on while studying for the na-
tional registered dietitian exam, celebrated each other's continued successes in
helping WIC clients, and became friends for life. We invite you to meet the 2018
Texas WIC Dietetic Interns and read what they say about supporting each other
through the most challenging and rewarding experience of their careers.Graduates

"I was surprised at the bond you create with the other interns. We all come from such differ-
ent backgrounds, but we went through this unique experience together."
Angela is a 2006 graduate of Texas A&M and also an IBCLC. Angela's first job with WIC was
with the Bell CountyWIC Program in 2006. She moved to Austin in 2011 and has worked for
the Austin Public Health WIC Program (LA 01) ever since. Besides her commitment to WIC,
one of Angela's passions is spending time with her family, including her adventurous 3-year-
old son. Being a mom during an internship was especially demanding, so Angela appreciated
all the help from fellow interns. "We were all there for each other for advice on rotations and
just for moral support!" For anyone considering applying, Angela says to "go for it because it
is definitely a once in a lifetime experience!"TEXASWIXs
