What is your background and why did you enroll in Sonoran University of Health Sciences online MS in Clinical Nutrition program?
After graduating with my undergraduate degree in psychology, I spent several years exploring different paths, including childcare, farming, and working in the kitchen at a cancer treatment center. During that time, I found myself on my own health journey and became increasingly interested in the power of nutrition to support wellness. I enrolled in MS in Clinical Nutrition program because I was looking for a program that would provide me with a comprehensive and unbiased understanding of nutrition science, as well as prepare me for a career in a clinical setting.
