Stephanie Antonelli

Clinical Instructor

Stephanie began her career as a DTR in 2013 in long-term care and later became a dietitian in 2015.  She has experience in both outpatient and acute care, including critical care nutrition. She is passionate about providing individualized nutrition care for her patients to improve patient outcomes or to meet patients’ goals. While working at Duke Raleigh Hospital as a clinical dietitian, she helped create a mentorship program for DPD students employed at the hospital. This is where she found her passion for teaching students and creating activities to help them apply their knowledge. In the classroom, she enjoys exercising students’ knowledge and research abilities and training them to provide client-centered care. Stephanie is a licensed dietitian nutritionist for Tennessee and is excited to contribute her expertise to guide and educate students effectively in the classroom and in caring for clients in the community.
