I am currently in my first year of the MSc AHN (Applied Human Nutrition) at Mount Saint Vincent University, where I previously completed a BSc AHN Dietetics (Honours). My current research focus is milk proteins and their potential use in diabetes management. Healthcare, by nature, is collaborative, and the opportunity to participate in helping HOPES run successfully is a privilege I am happy to be able to participate in. I previously worked as volunteer coordinator for the Breakfast Program Association of Fairview and look forward to furthering my volunteer organizational skills with HOPES.
