"I have always had a passion for food - it is my family’s way to show love, share our heritage, and create lasting memories. After earning my B.S. in Food Science and working in the food manufacturing industry for several years, I realized I wanted to do more to help others, through food. I chose to continue my education at Case Western not just because it was close to home, but because the department instantly made me feel like family. I plan on becoming a registered dietitian and hope to work in a clinical setting and eventually move into functional nutrition."

"Coming from a large public university for undergrad to the MS in Nutrition program at Case, I was amazed by the resources accessible to students. With small class sizes and professors who are invested in your success, I felt supported to achieve academically and personally. This program and the professors’ curricula really advanced my critical thinking skills, which I know will greatly benefit me during medical school and my future career."

"After 6 years of working, I made the decision to start my master's in nutrition with the intention of using my MS as a post-bac and apply for medical school. I always saw nutrition as the foundation for preventative medicine and felt if I was going to be a great primary care physician that I needed extensive nutrition knowledge. Halfway through the program, I realized I love nutrition and that I could be just as impactful being a registered dietitian as I could be being a doctor. Having class with Professor Tammy Randall & Dr. Sharon Groh-Wargo deepened my view of how impactful dietitians can be. My internship has been the highlight of my graduate studies, especially my WIC and community nutrition rotation."

At ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, I worked as an undergraduate research assistant in the lab of Dr. Nathan Berger, Dean Emeritus of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ School of Medicine and Professor of Biochemistry, Genetics and Genome Sciences, Oncology, and Medicine. Apart from the truly important aspects of performing undergraduate research (developing a strong relationship with my mentor and improving my own resilience and critical thinking ability), my time in the Berger Lab was very fruitful: I placed first in multiple research competitions held at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, presented my work at two national conferences (one of which I won an award for), as well as wrote two papers (one published, one to be submitted for review), both of which I have first authorship on. I was also fortunate to be supported through the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center’s CanSUR program and Washington University in St. Louis’s Pediatric Student Research program to continue research throughout each of my summers and get exposure to a wide variety of research disciplines. After graduating, I travelled to the United Kingdom to work as a research assistant (and soon a graduate student) in the lab of Professor Sir Stephen O’Rahilly at the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Metabolic Science. For the next two years I will have the opportunity to conduct obesity genetics research full-time prior to pursuing an MD/PhD in the United States.

"During summer 2020, although I was not able to stay in Cleveland, I was recruited onto a team with a few of my friends to work as the nutritionist and help develop a new nonprofit organization called , where our mission was to serve low-income families in our local suburban Atlanta communities and relieve food insecurity issues caused by the recent outbreak of COVID-19. I worked as the head of products on the team, making sure that our food packages were packed with healthy foods that would help these families fulfill their daily servings of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy products. On our first day of action, we raised about $6,000 to successfully package and deliver food packages to over 175 families! Additionally, as a nutrition major at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, I’m so grateful for being given these opportunities to serve my community with the knowledge I gained throughout my undergraduate career pursuing a BS in Human Nutrition. I shared this important project with the department, and I was met with such genuine enthusiasm for the things I was able to accomplish back at home. Their continued eagerness to support my endeavors has helped me become more motivated and passionate to work towards my goal of becoming a dietitian by completing the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD)."

"I declared my major in the Nutrition Department after my first semester of college — with no prior nutrition classes, but the overwhelming encouragement from a few friends who were Nutrition/Nutritional Biochemistry majors. I enjoyed all of my nutrition classes, and when I found out about the BS/MS program, I was so excited and grateful for the opportunity to pursue further topics in nutrition. I especially enjoy the flexibility of the program, and my ability to take psychology and dance, in conjunction with my nutrition coursework. After graduation, I plan to take a gap year doing research abroad, and then matriculate into medical school to later become a pediatric emergency medicine physician. With my background in nutrition, I want to focus my career mainly in the global health sector, concentrating on topics in maternal and child nutrition."
