I started in the Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional Medicine)
program, on-campus at Pyrmont in Sydney. It was an intimate campus
and I met some wonderful and talented people – students and lecturers
alike. I found I loved the science subjects most and I also discovered that
I didn’t want to become a clinician. This led me to the Torrens Bachelor
of Nutrition program (online), as it was a blend of science and nutrition.
Applying my nutrition education into working with vulnerable people at a

population level, becoming involved in advocacy and possibly helping to shape
Australia’s nutrition policy was a very exciting career path to me. Being driven
and self-motivated, online suited me well as I could adapt my study hours to
suit my schedule. During the program, I started volunteering with OzHarvest
in their NEST program. Fast-forward 15 months and they hired me to manage
the program; which I am currently doing while finishing my last three subjects.
