Summary

Nutrition student at UC with a strong foundation in sports nutrition, nutritional science, and people-first problem solving. Through years of customer-facing experience, academic research, and involvement in creating healthy recipes in a few hospitality roles, I've developed an interest in helping organizations solve complex challenges through strategic thinking and evidence-based insight. I bring an analytical mindset, a collaborative approach, and a deep interest in working across teams to deliver practical, outcome-focused solutions. I'm excited to contribute to UCX Food Pantry's mission of enabling meaningful change in students' lives through nutrition and food literacy.
