Hello, I am currently in my first year of the Coordinated Program in Dietetics, A master's level program within the broader Nutrition and Dietetics department. This advanced program combines my passion for nutrition with in-depth scientific research and application. Before beginning this journey, I served 20 years in the United States Air Force as a Public Health Technician, where I developed skills in health promotion, adaptability, and service—qualities I now apply to my studies and future career in dietetics.

Recently diagnosed with asthma, I’ve become especially interested in researching how nutrition influences chronic health conditions, including identifying foods that may trigger symptoms. My experiences have deepened my commitment to using nutrition science to help others manage their health.

This portfolio highlights my work in applied food science, where I’ve explored food preparation, safety, and functionality. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to using my education, personal experiences, and dedication to inspire healthier lifestyles.
