Objective:

My goal is to earn a Master’s degree in Nutrition in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics, and Hospitality Management at Auburn University. I received a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Auburn University in 2010, having changed my major from Nutrition Science. After graduation, I re-discovered that my true passion in life is the field of nutrition. I applied to the Graduate School of Nutrition and Hospitality in 2014 and was accepted in the spring of 2015. My graduate studies began in the summer of 2015 with a goal of becoming a certified registered dietitian. Ultimately, I want to be able to help others through my knowledge and experience to make better choices in their daily nutrition so that they can live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
