*Nutrition: The Spice of Life*

As a senior, about to graduate with a degree in Nutritional Science and a minor in Spanish, I am blessed to have a great passion for the information I have been studying the past four years. I would love nothing more than to combine these two loves for the Spanish language and nutritious living in the field I pursue when I graduate. I desire to take the experience and knowledge that I have gained from these to areas of study to third world countries in Latin America, or to impoverished areas of the United States to work for poverty relief and against malnutrition that plagues so many.
I have been uniquely blessed at my age to have already had experience working with people from a wide variety of different ages, races, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds within the United States and in other countries. Through this paradigm I have also seen many of the hardships that people face in different countries around the world, even in America, in meeting basic needs for consuming adequate food and water. Having seen and been broken by these circumstances, I desire to provide nutrition education and access to nutrient rich foods to even the poorest of the poor to end generational hunger, impacting lives and cultures beyond my own name or professional career.
I am excited to embark on this journey as Nutrition is not just my major, but one of my most intense joys. It excites me to think of the possibility of being able to join the things things that I am so passionate about: Spanish, nutrition, and ending poverty, to really make a difference in the lives of individuals, families and cultural groups. I think that in order to make great strides in the world, one must be driven by desire and I am thrilled to move forward in accomplishing these dreams with such simple, yet powerful motivation.
