OTHER WORK EXPERIENCE
MEDICAL CENTER FOR EATING DISORDERS
Working under Jennifer Nagel, RD, LD, PA-C, I learned the ropes of treating eating disorders nutritionally and physically. I was able to work with patients suffering from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and orthorexia and learn the medical complications that these disorders bring to the body. It was here that my philosophy on nutrition was shaped. I believe that there are no "bad" foods, that intuitive eating is the best way to live a healthy lifestyle, society's expectations of weight are bogus, and each person has a set-point weight where there body is the happiest and healthiest.
TEXAS A&M ATHLETICS
STUDENT ATHLETE SERVICES
As mentioned before, teaching nutrition is a passion of mine. I first discovered this when tutoring student-athletes in a variety of nutrition courses and helping them make comparisons between what they were learning in the classroom to how that knowledge could affect their performance in their sport. I was able to create study guides to assist their professors' lectures and help them understand the information by teaching it in a fun, inviting environment.

During my time at DoubleDave's, I was able to put my Food Safety Manager License to use as I assisted the offsite manager with deliveries to Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. In addition to helping place orders for appropriate number of units to be delivered, I helped in maintaining temperature regulations and providing excellent customer service.
