Lindsay Ainsworth

Meet Lindsay Ainsworth. Lindsay’s journey to becoming a registered dietitian (RD) began as a summer student at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC). She earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition from Toronto Metropolitan University in 2009, followed by her practicum training with NOSM University’s Northern Ontario Dietetic Internship Program—now the Dietetic Practicum Program (DPP)—in 2010.

Her experience as a summer student, combined with the practicum program, allowed her to explore a variety of dietetic practice areas, and discover her passion for food services and administration. Starting her career at TBRHSC as a food service RD with Sodexo led her to explore new opportunities in Vancouver, B.C., and eventually to her current role as Director of Business Growth and Transformation with Sodexo. In this role, Lindsay oversees the development and deployment of food service models in acute care, senior living, and retail food services, and works closely with clinical nutrition teams at various locations.

Lindsay continues to stay connected to her hometown and roots in Thunder Bay, working on various food service projects through Sodexo at TBRHSC.
