My name is Sylvia Emberger, and I joined GIANT Food Stores as Corporate Nutritionist in January of 2008. Along with earning a BS degree in Microbiology from Penn State, I completed coursework in dietetics at Messiah College in Grantham, PA and a dietetic internship at Geisinger Medical Center to become a Registered Dietitian.

The Corporate Nutritionist works behind the scenes to direct the company’s nutrition, health and wellness programs. There is so much information on nutrition available on the web and in advertisements that it is important to separate the facts from the fads. By staying informed about your questions and concerns, the Corporate Nutritionist helps the company provide the information, goods, and services you need for better nutrition and health.

The areas of nutrition that interest me the most are healthy nutrition and disease prevention. My background includes research, teaching, clinical nutrition and management, and corporate consulting. Now I find it very rewarding to be able to reach so many customers with nutrition messages and programs that will benefit their health. I like to see people make the change from simply eating their food to actually enjoying their meals.
