Joan Cardenas

I’m a Licensed Nutritionist known for being proactive, organized, and positive, and I’m driven by continuous learning and applying scientific knowledge to support health and business objectives. I’m motivated by contributing to projects that connect clinical insights with market trends, building collaboration across teams in healthcare and the food industry.

In my current role as an Ingredient Solutions Representative with Onset Worldwide, I help clients understand the nutritional benefits and applications of ingredients while developing strong relationships with food manufacturers, R&D teams, and nutraceutical companies. I support our positioning through industry content, educational materials, and customer-facing presentations or demos—combining customer service, sales support, and lead generation with CRM-based opportunity management.

My internship experience strengthens my clinical foundation and communication skills. At Hospital Santo Tomás and Parque Lefevre Health Center and with Nestle, I designed and monitored personalized nutrition plans, delivered engaging nutrition education sessions, supported evidence-based product insights, conducted comparative analysis, and created nutritional content for educational campaigns—while also training staff on quality standards, hygiene protocols, and proper food handling under good manufacturing practices.
