I started out wanting to make the world a better place by becoming an Environmental Scientist, but after a year at university I realised that I love chemistry and biology but I’m not too keen on rocks. One lecture during that year captured my attention like no other - three hours on carbohydrates, protein and fat - and it was then that my interest in nutrition throughout high school became a real possibility, so I switched to Nutrition Science and boy am I glad I did!Fast forward many years and I'm currently working as a Dietitian in private practice, where I help empower people to improve their wellbeing through nutrition. This is rewarding as I get to see both the short-term and long-term impact that my work has on my patients and clients.I feel that my experience working with individuals has given me a valuable insight into what we can do to improve the health of all Australians – through nutrition education, food supply, healthcare, and a myriad of other approaches. In addition to private practice, I would love to use my skills and insight to expand my reach beyond the individual level, so that I can do my part in making the world a better place.
