Pat Becker is currently the Pediatric Nutrition Practice Group chair, just one in a long line of leadership roles she has held over the years. Her recent work in defining and documenting pediatric and neonatal/premature malnutrition has been monumental for those working with those populations. She also enjoys, and takes seriously, the responsibility of mentoring young RDs and students helping them build their skills and encourage their passion to build the next great generation of nutrition professionals.
