Dina D'Alessandro

Dina R. D'Alessandro, MS, RDN, CDN is a Registered Dietitian and dedicated nutrition professional with over 20 years of experience in the culinary, corporate, and healthcare industries, and the founder of DishWithDina, a virtual wellness and multimedia platform. She holds a Master of Science in Nutrition from CUNY-Lehman College where she is also an adjunct lecturer of undergraduate and graduate nutrition studies, as well as the on-campus dietitian at the college’s Student Health Center.

Growing up in a first-generation Italian-American household, Dina was an involuntary member of the “Clean Plate Club”. It took her years to learn that food can be both nourishing and a source of enjoyment. In her practice, Dina helps her clients go from confused to confident and helps them embrace and develop new relationships with food so they can meet their health and wellness goals in a realistic and achievable way. Her specialties include high-risk prenatal counseling, diabetes prevention, and chronic disease management for newly diagnosed clients.

Before switching careers to dietetics, Dina held a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and worked as a project manager in various industries, from publishing to public health. She enjoys venturing in and around New York City (where she lives) to find hidden gems, new places to eat, and people-watch, but her happy place is anywhere with a beach.
