WORK 01
Loblaw Companies Ltd
Rowena was the first retail dietitian to be hired as part of the corporate dietitian program. As part of the pilot program, she serviced clients who lived in the Richmond Hill and Markham area but eventually made the Loblaws at Bayview Village and Yonge/Yonge Blvd her home stores.
Over the past 12 years, she has watched this program transition from a non-paid program to a paid program and has made several partnerships within the community.
WORK 02
Carefirst Family Health Team
As one of the first FHTs in Ontario to provide culturally competent services to the Asian and South Asian communities, the experience that Rowena gathered during her time here has been integral in shaping her into the healthcare practitioner she is today.
Rowena has been part of the 2021 & 2022 steering community for the Becel Centre for Heart Health.
BCHH valued Rowena’s input as a RD and CDE who could provide culturally competent perspective of topics.
