Krysty Williams, RD (SA), draws upon her two decades of experience as a registered dietitian, focusing in oncology patient care. Her career spans from clinical dietetics in an oncology outpatient clinic to establishing her private practice, the Art of Nutrition Wellness LLC. Williams' journey into oncology nutrition began during her university years when she volunteered with the American Cancer Society and underwent Hospice training. Seeking a deeper understanding of a patient’s perspective, she joined a cancer survivor group at Poudre Valley Hospital. Presently, she collaborates with a multidisciplinary team consisting of an oncologist, oncology nurses, and a social worker.

Raised in Colorado, USA, Williams holds a Bachelor's Degree in Science, Concentration in Dietetics from Colorado State University, complemented by a Post Graduate Diploma in Dietetics from the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa. Her speaking engagements have ranged from conducting oncology nutrition training for dietitian colleagues and hospice nurses to educating the public on cancer prevention.

Williams' expertise is enriched by her diverse life experiences across two countries. She firmly believes that optimal care for oncology patients is achieved through a blend of clinical knowledge and practical nutrition interventions, within a multidisciplinary framework, while supporting the oncology patient and their caregivers from diagnosis to post treatment.

In her upcoming session, Williams will offer valuable insights into the clinical and practical management of oncology patients. Attendees can expect to gain knowledge of evidence-based clinical oncology nutrition management of outpatients, patient-friendly apps and tools she utilises in her practice.
