Under the direction of Dr. Clinton Allred, we were taken through the various stages of life, beginning with pre-pregnancy and ending with the geriatric population, and observed the nutrient needs and food choices throughout each stage. This course was the first exposure I had to pediatric nutrition and the benefits of nutrition education on the health of children, which sparked my interest to work with a young population. Below are samples of my work throughout this course, including case studies and a group analysis of a research paper.
