"After graduating from CHS in 2015, I decided to study dietetics at the University of Georgia. The transition to a huge university was challenging, but I truly feel like CHS prepared me academically. Thanks to Mrs. Irwin, I came to UGA with a strong foundation in chemistry and even used the notes that I took in her class during my freshman year. Some of my favorite classes I took at UGA include biochemistry, macromolecular energy science, and medical nutrition therapy.
For three years, I had the opportunity to work as a student employee at UGA Performance Nutrition. I got to work alongside a team of sports dietitians to provide nutrition education, test hydration levels, measure body composition, determine supplement needs, and much more to help our student-athletes perform at their best. I also spent my time serving as a Student Ambassador for the College of Family and Consumer Sciences.
I graduated from UGA in May 2019 with a B.S. in Dietetics. I plan to gain an M.S. in Nutrition in December 2019. After receiving my master’s degree, I hope to be accepted into a program that will qualify me to become a registered dietitian."
