Sarah Daubman, retail dietitian at ShopRite supermarket in Kingston, N.Y., has been named Young Dietitian of the Year by the New York State Dietetic Association.

“We are extremely proud that Sarah has been recognized as the Young Dietitian of the Year by the New York State Dietetic Association,” said Tom Urtz, ShopRite VP of human resources and community affairs. “Her dedication to health and wellness and her drive to educate the public on simple ways to lead a healthier lifestyle has been well received by the Kingston community.

She is also responsible for the development of nutritional programs for store associates, customers and the local community, in addition to grocery shopping tours, healthy cooking classes, recipe and pantry makeovers, and coordination of other health and wellness initiatives and in-store nutritional programs.
