Public Health Dietitian Katie Meaux came to the Bloomington Women, Infants and Children (WIC) team in October 2024 and is enjoying Minnesota.
She arrived here from the South after completing a bachelor’s degree in dietetics in Louisiana and a master’s degree in nutrition and a dietetic internship in North Carolina. She worked five years providing nutrition counseling and education to students in the St. Paul schools before coming to Bloomington.
With her family, husband Evan and their cat, Bunsen, Meaux has found a great community of friends and she is enjoying the great outdoors here. From tennis and paddle boarding in the summer to ice climbing and broomball in the winter, she loves it all, including her new job.
“I am honored to be part of a program that has made such a positive impact on the well-being of so many women and children, and I am excited to grow in this role,” Meaux said.
Public Health Tip
Access to healthy foods can have a huge impact on people, and it is easy to find out if your family qualifies for WIC. Remember, health is not all or nothing. It’s about moderation and balance, which looks different for everyone.
