Why did you choose UW? After speaking to my professors at UC Davis about graduate programs in nutrition, I received high recommendations for the UW Nutritional Sciences Program for the way it prepares students to think and problem solve with an evidence-based and systems approach.

What influenced you to pursue a graduate degree in nutritional sciences? From my undergraduate education in human physiology and public health and my research focus in nutrition, I understood how crucial proper nutrition is to health, but also how difficult proper nutrition is to achieve due to numerous systemic barriers.
