MS in Nutrition
Education in Nutrition
During my time as a graduate student at Lamar University, I was able to study nutrition through different lenses. This program expanded my knowledge in areas such as cultural differences and population-specific challenges, and implementing supplementation. The variety of classes provided skills I need to apply to my current areas of practices in nutrition counseling, personal training, and competitive bodybuilding.

Nutrition counseling
As a graduate student, I wanted to further my education to help in the fight against hypertension and cardiovascular disease. In doing this, I furthered my knowledge of useful approaches to clearly and effectively communicating with others about their health. I learned that understanding each client's background will be different, therefore it is critical that I remain open and unbiased to their individual experiences. It is just as important to use credible sources and substantiate my findings by using scholarly articles.
