About

I am planning to study nutrition and become a dietician in the future at Central Washington University. I currently am a freshman and have one more year until I get to declare my major but, I am currently enrolled in classes that will help in completing my degree. I have always been very intrigued by fitness so most of the hobbies I enjoy stem around my field of study. I love to hike, play baseball, run, cheer, and dance most of all. I strive to help others in their goal of loving their body and am currently on that track myself and hope to help many others on their way to being fit and confident. College has been a journey for me and I am very blessed to get to attend due to having a single mom and only one income coming in the family. Due to this I take school very seriously and strive to be the best I can be and get the grades that deserve and that will reflect on me as I am moving towards being a dietician. I have had many experiences that will help me in becoming a dietician such as working with food banks which helps me focus on low income families and how to help them have a healthy diet. I also worked in an organic food store so I had access to many organic and healthy foods that I may recommend to families who didn't realize these types of stores existed. I believe these experiences will only further me in pursuing my intended career.

Goals and interests

Career goal

While attending Central Washington University I have changed my mind multiple times on the intended career I plan on studying. By doing so I have come to the conclusion that I want to go into the health and wellness careers and that I want to be a dietician. Although I have figured out my intended career I have not figured what kind of registered dietician I want to be. By being overweight myself as a child I have the strongest passion on working with families and children in becoming healthier. I also have looked into working with sports and figuring out athletes diets because I myself am an athlete and I feel as if that would be intriguing to figure out everyone's specific diet. Living in Washington I have many opportunities that may come about and studies show that the need is only rising for registered dieticians and nutritionists so this may help me in the near future when I graduate and am looking for a job. I am captivated by all that goes into the body and how it may work, the world will always need more health career graduates and I am fascinated to start my journey in becoming a dietician.

Graduate school interests

I have considered going to graduate school at central Washington university but sense I am only a freshman I am going to look more into that option and make my decision at a later time and maybe go back to school after I have a steady job and can afford to receive a graduate degree.
