About

I am a current senior at The University of Alabama majoring in Public Health with a double minor in Food and Nutrition and Addiction and Recovery. I am seeking a career in corporate wellness. I am interested in implementing health promotion programs as well as prevention programs in large corporations, school systems and local communities. I have a passion to decrease the obesity rate in young children and therefore would love the opportunity to make a difference through possibly working with school lunch programs.
