Wendy Romig, MBA, DCN

Overview

When I graduated high school, I was unsure of what I wanted to study in college so my parents suggested that I get a business degree since it offered useful, widely accepted skills. I acquiesced not yet recognizing my inclinations toward business ownership. I went on to earn an MBA with a marketing concentration and worked for several years at an advertising agency. I then took on a marketing project management position at SAP America. I also taught advertising and marketing courses at Temple University in Philadelphia for many years. In 2003, I left corporate America and ventured out to start my own marketing agency which led to partnering in an agency specializing in healthcare. Realizing my own desire to help people with their health, I returned to school in 2013 to pursue a Master of Science in Nutrition and Integrative Health degree and Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition. I currently own my own healthcare clinic in Philadelphia where my years of experience in business and marketing have helped me launch a rapidly growing integrative health practice specializing in chronic illness.
