Art Description
I believe part of being a whole person working in healthcare requires taking time for yourself and your health. I prefer being outdoors and relaxing with my family and friends around a fire pit. My husband I created the fire pit in this picture during the beginning of COVID-19 quarantine in the spring of 2020. This artwork is titled "Take Time to Relax".

My name is JoAnna Cupp, and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). I grew up on a row-crop farm in northeast Arkansas and am proud to be a farmer’s daughter. My parents taught me the value of a strong work ethic. I currently work at Arkansas State University as a Program Director and Assistant Professor in the Dietetics Program. I have worked in academia for the last five years. Prior to academia, I worked as a clinical RDN in various inpatient and outpatient settings in Mobile, Alabama and Chicago, Illinois. I also obtained a Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management and am currently working on a Doctor of Health Sciences. In 2014, my husband and I moved back to Arkansas. I love all things nutrition related, cooking, and being active. I also enjoy traveling with my husband in my spare time and visiting my family farm.
