What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can apply my skills in nutrition assessment and patient counseling, ideally in a collaborative healthcare environment that values evidence-based practices and promotes holistic health.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Clinical Nutritionist with a solid academic background and practical experience in nutritional assessment, dietary planning, and patient counseling. My goal is to manage lifestyle-related illnesses and improve overall health through evidence-based practices. I believe that effective communication and interpersonal skills are essential in working within multidisciplinary healthcare teams to promote sustainable eating habits and tailored nutrition.

During my internship at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, I gained hands-on experience in assessing nutritional status, conducting detailed nutritional assessments, and providing patient education and diet counseling based on individual disease conditions. My academic projects, including the impact of dietary counseling on gut health in subjects with mild to moderate depression, have further solidified my understanding of the importance of nutrition in mental health.
