I completed 1200 hours of supervised clinical training from Uchicago Medicine Ingalls memorial Dietetic Internship program.
My overall take away from my educational background was the way each individual requires a unique approach and no two people are the same- this is an understanding I am well versed in. When I am not reading research articles or counseling patients I enjoy playing basketball, jumping rope and doing Pilates. My favorite hobby would have to be gardening.
