The "Eat Mor Veggies" Approach

My pursuit of nutrition education allows me to specialize in nutritional therapy and dietary education. Committed to forming relationships with clients looking to manage their health, I aid in guidance and to reinforce healthy lifestyle habits specializing in plant-based eating. I believe in Health at Every Size and understanding the multi-factorial approach to health for clients including cultural, socio-economical, and various lifestyle factors.

Education History

After completing a Bachelors degree from the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) program at UC Davis, I am verified to have completed a Didactic Program in Dietetics as of 2021. By the beginning of April 2023, I completed my Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition didactic academic studies. From April 2023 to November 2023, I completed five supervised practice clinical education rotations including in a prison healthcare facility, California WIC clinic, ambulatory care at a Kaiser location, food service applications in a school district, and a confidential food bank based wellness nutrition counseling service with grocery delivery for those with serious medical conditions.

Research Experience

On November 10th, 2023, I presented my research on plant-forward meals on a small graduate campus to my peers, faculty, friends, and family for my MSCN Poster Session preceding my pinning ceremony. This capstone study (N=274) was performed using a Qualtrics-based survey to assess student, staff, and faculty’s perceived acceptance of plant-forward and vegan meals in the University of Pacific Sacramento campus cafeteria to be used by the university as marketing research. Factors looked at in this study include ranked food purchasing attributes, dietary restrictions and preferences, and gender, amongst other demographic data collected. This study was also presented to UoP’s Student Life administration and was submitted to CANDAC’s 100th anniversary.
