"I completed my B.S. in Dietetics and DPD verification from the University of Georgia (UGA) in May and am now pursuing a master’s with a dietetic internship (MS/DI) at UGA. My areas of interest are community nutrition, program design, and policy. I’m especially interested in how food assistance programs, culturally responsive education, and behavior-change strategies improve diet quality. My current research focuses on community-based interventions to improve health, nutrition, and quality of life for low-income populations. Ultimately, I aim to develop evidence-based approaches that strengthen food security, empower families, and advance equitable outcomes across Georgia."

“This past summer, I graduated with my Master’s degree from the University of Georgia in Nutritional Sciences. I am currently living in Atlanta, Georgia, as a part of the 2026 Dietetic Internship Class at Emory University. I have always been interested in Nutrition as it is something that connects all cultures and people worldwide, shaping health and wellness across communities. My long-term goal is to work with a pediatric population, where I can combine my passion for nutrition with helping children develop healthy habits early in life. Additionally, I aspire to conduct research that advances evidence-based pediatric nutrition care."

I am currently completing my master’s degree in community nutrition at the University of Georgia where I also completed my bachelor’s degree in dietetics. Through my dietetic internship with Wellness Workdays, I am gaining specialized experience by working with the University of Georgia football nutrition department. My academic background and experiences have solidified my love for performance nutrition, and I hope to become a sports dietitian at a Division I university, where I can help athletes use food to improve their performance, enhance recovery, and build lifelong habits.
