Objective

in diverse settings, provide a healthy outlook for children and adults in my community, and to simply
help someone get their life back to a healthy state, as a Dietitian once helped me.

I am motivated, multi-disciplinary, efficient, and creative. My knowledge of Nutrition in Dietetics is
comprehensive and current. I work well with others, respect others opinions, and base everything on
facts.
