About me: I am currently a senior at UND, double majoring in Community Nutrition & Exercise Science. I am also obtaining a minor in Health Education. I am employed at UND's Wellness Center as a Personal Trainer and a chef for Culinary Corner. I'm also actively raising my daughter. Upon graduation, I intend to pursue a Master's of Public Health and then continue on with a PhD in Nutrition & Education. My career goal is two-fold, I would like to teach nutrition and exercise at a collegiate level and I would like to be involved in civil government developing policies to encourage healthy eating and exercise in our community.
