What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in nutrition to promote health and wellness, particularly in community settings. I value collaboration and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated and licensed clinical nutritionist with over 5 years of experience in both clinical and non-governmental organization settings. My special interest lies in maternal, infant, and young child nutrition (MIYCN). I combine evidence-based care with innovative digital education tools to extend my impact beyond the bedside. I have successfully built an engaged online community centered on health and nutrition awareness, reflecting my passion for public education.

Currently, I am focused on amplifying the role of preventive nutrition in reducing the burden of nutrition-related illnesses through both clinical work and community outreach. My experience includes conducting comprehensive nutrition assessments, delivering individualized nutrition counseling, and collaborating with healthcare teams to ensure optimal patient care. I am committed to promoting healthy eating habits and improving nutritional outcomes for vulnerable populations.
