Why I chose my major

I chose dietetics because it felt more relevant to my interests and goals than any other major, and I wanted to learn more about nutrition to help myself and others.

What I like most about FACS

I like how welcome I feel in FACS by all my classmates and professors. Everyone is always willing to help with coursework, internship and graduate school applications, and everything in between.

Post-graduation plans

After graduation, I plan to begin graduate school and start at an entry level nutrition-related job.
