Summary

I'm a recent graduate Dietitian with a strong interest interest in working in mental health and with neurodivergent populations, as well as in fitness and media! I am an extremely passionate and driven person with so many interests areas and a strong desire to learn as much as I can. One of my most passionate areas of interest lies in mental health dietetics, namely Eating Disorders. I wish to one day work in media, to contribute to restoring some of the decades of nutrition misinformation that the media has communicated to many individuals, to help heal the populations relationships with nutrition and movement. I have a background working in disability support through the NDIS, thus one of my main passions is to further contribute to support neurodivergent people in achieving their health goals and become more independent in the community.
