about me
Welcome to the story of my nutrition journey! My journey into the area of food, health and nutrition started early. Growing up, I was always intrigued by how what we eat and how we move can shape our well-being. This curiosity led me to study Chemistry, Art, and Psychology at A-Level, blending science with creativity and understanding human behaviour while laying a solid foundation for my future endeavours. It was when exploring potential university courses, I discovered Nutrition, and my passions and interests seemed to click into place.
In 2016, I began my BSc in Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Leeds, which included the amazing opportunity of living and studying in Australia for a year. My studies ranged from psychology and pediatric health to anatomy, sports nutrition, and cultural studies, broadening my understanding of looking holistically at health. During my final year at Leeds, I gained invaluable experience working as a Commis Chef at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons. This role honed my skills in leadership, organisation, and cookery—skills I now weave into my daily life and nutrition practice.
In September of 2020, I became a Registered Associate Nutritionist with the Association for Nutrition. Around this time, I also launched The Nutrition Nourishment Podcast, a space dedicated to sharing diverse nutrition journeys and expert insights. Driven by an interest in the link between food and disease and my commitment to providing high-quality nutrition care, I pursued an MSc in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition at UCL. This degree deepened my passion for clinical nutrition, leading to a role as a Dietetic Assistant in the NHS and subsequently an MSc in Dietetics at KCL in 2022. Throughout my training, I have embraced opportunities to enhance my expertise in areas like gut health, intuitive eating, and early years nutrition through work experience, internships, CPD, and shadowing Registered Nutritionists and Dietitians.
Today, I am a Registered Dietitian and AfN Registered Associate Nutritionist who enjoys sharing evidence-based nutrition and hopes to empower individuals with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their dietary patterns and lifestyle, to support a happy, healthy, and sustainable life. I am excited my next steps, to continue learning, and to share this journey with you!
