Jessica Wilson, MS, RD

  • Dietitian, Health Promotion
  • Phone: 541-346-2794

Bio

Education
University of California, Davis: BS in Clinical Nutrition, 2005
Oregon Health Sciences University: Dietetic Internship, 2006
University of Oregon: MS Human Physiology, 2009 Registered Dietitian since 2006  

Employment
University of Oregon; Dietitian since 2009
At the University, I work with students from a variety of life-circumstances to help them make better food and lifestyle choices.  I focus more on food behaviors and perceptions about food than BMI, and I take a mindful and practical approach to my client interactions.  My clinician style has been termed “laid-back” and “non-intimidating” by students.  I have professional interests including reducing food-insecurity among UO students, and increasing opportunities for students to find and enjoy affordable healthy choices on campus and in the community, and the Health at Every Size concept.  I am also dedicated to continuing my journey of multicultural competence.   

In my personal time, I take pleasure in cultivating my own fruit and vegetable garden.  I also enjoy hiking, backpacking, road cycling, yoga, reading, and experimental cooking and baking.
