Professional Memberships
Teaching Assistant: During Spring 2018, I was a TA for Nutrition 100: Contemporary Nutrition Concerns. In addition, I am currently a TA for Nutrition 251: Introductory Principles of Nutrition. Throughout the past two semesters I, along with my fellow TA’s, have held review sessions before exams, graded coursework, attended every lecture, and answered any questions students may have. This experience has allowed me to review basic nutrition content and practice strong communication skills.
CIEE Abroad Representative: After studying abroad fall of 2017, I become an abroad representative for the University of Wollongong, Australia. As a representative, I communicate via email or in person with prospective abroad students to help them get prepared for their semester over seas, answer any questions they may have, and give tips/ recommendations in regards to trips, packing and academics.
St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital:
- Raised over $800 for St. Jude’s Children Hospital while training for the Disney Dopey Challenge
- Represented St. Jude’s during 49.6 miles (5K, 10K, half and full marathon)
I am eager to help people achieve their goals through fitness and altering daily eating habits. Fueling the body and mind with wholesome food changes a person’s outlook on life; allowing them to tackle obstacles they never thought were possible. After obtaining my RD credential, I plan to specialize in sports dietetics and work within the professional sports field. The environment is fast paced and the athletes are motivated to be the best they can be. In the future, I hope to open up my own business targeting fitness and nutrition; bringing a convenient, healthy diet to today’s rushed lifestyle. Through my previous experiences and the practice and knowledge I will obtain in a dietetic internship, I will be confident and effective out in the dietetic field. I am excited to put all the years of learning to work in order to better people’s lifestyles and help reach their goals.
