I am a 22 year old Quinnipiac University post-graduate with a BS in health science and a passion for nutrition and wellness. As an aspiring registered dietitian (RD), I am dedicated to my studies in dietetics and providing factual nutrition information to others. Having graduated with a minor in chemistry, I also wish to encourage a deeper understanding of how nutrients metabolically affect the human body. I hope to inspire others to become more-informed and healthier versions of themselves, while eating delicious food and having fun along the way. As the wise Michael Pollan would say… “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

Jessica is not only enthusiastic about nutrition, healthy eating and overall wellness; she also lives by what she preaches. She is constantly learning, researching and enjoys creating her own recipes which I’ve had the pleasure to taste more than once. It is an utmost pleasure to have Jessica with us for the Wellness Initiative and to get her take and guidance on clean eating.
