Annika McDowell

Spencer House & Outreach Coordinator 

I am a third year Applied Human Nutrition Student at Mount Saint Vincent University and I am looking forward to creating partnerships with organizations in the community. My role as outreach coordinator will allow HOPES to connect with organizations with similar objectives to provide accessible interprofessional health and social services. Prior to pursuing dietetics, I completed an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences, which taught me the importance of analyzing the social determinants of health and its effect on populations. Last year, I had the opportunity to volunteer with HOPES at St. Andrew’s and witnessed the importance of building trust within the community. I hope to foster this sense of trust and continue to build trust with members of the community to provide a high standard of care and create a supportive environment for both students and clients alike.
