Welcome to my portfolio!
   | About MeI am born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and am the girl who wants to do it all, and have it all. In 2005 I was awarded my Bachelors in Business Administration with a double major in Marketing and International Business from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Following graduation I pursued a career in Real-Estate and Finance. Several years into my career I decided to change paths in pursuit of a rewarding career to satisfy my inner need to help individuals. I made serious modifications to my lifestyle and moved back in with my parents for two years to save money to fund my education in pursuit of my career change. I started the Food Science Human Nutrition program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Fall 2010, and worked part-time for my family distribution business to pay the bills. Life has not stood still for my academic journey. I had the pleasure of getting engaged to my high school sweetheart of twelve years, planning a wedding, and successfully tied the knot in June 2012. My husband and I spent three weeks this summer honeymooning in Japan and Thailand. I just celebrated my 30th birthday and cannot be more excited for the next decade of my life. I am approaching graduation with my second degree in Food Science Human Nutrition. I am on the hunt for a dietetic internship position that will provide an opportunity to continuously learn, and increase my value as a professional in Dietetics and Nutrition. My husband and I are not able to relocate due to his professional obligations, and I have made Sodexo distance program in Hawaii my primary choice. I am passionate about food and nutrition; posses a wide breadth of interdisciplinary experiences; and am determined to meld my business background and nutrition to one day establish a dietetic private practice specializing in prenatal and postpartum out-patient care. I have invested my time, money and effort in pursuit of my dream of becoming a registered dietitian. Failure is not an option, as my family's future is on the line. InterestsI am an advocate for balance in life. I love the great outdoors and you can find me hiking a mountain or playing in the ocean on my free time. My husband and I have an Australian Silky Terrier named Bogart who loves the outdoors as much as us. I also love to cook and eat; and am committed to nourishing our bodies while enjoying culinary splendors. I love to travel and have been everywhere from Europe to Southeast Asia. |
