Spring 1997

I graduated with a B.S in Nutrition from
the University of California, Berkeley.

Fall 1998-2000

I moved back to the East Coast and enrolled in MS program and Dietetics Internship

2000-2005

I started my practice as a Registered Dietician in New York City.

This was the first time I got to serve patients and understand their problems. In these five years I realised two things: (1) the importance of nutrition in our overall health (2) my firm belief that my next step should be to become a doctor.
