Bio:
Since completing her Bachelors of Science at UBC and the Gerontology Nutrition Society (GNS) Dietetic Internship at Langara, Nicole has worked as a dietitian in a variety of areas and settings including clinical at St. Paul’s Hospital, primary health and community in Haida Gwaii, international research in India, and sports nutrition in Vancouver. Regardless of her area of focus, her career objective is to empower people to set their own achievable goals to lead a healthier life. While pursuing her masters in health education at SFU, Nicole came across the concept of mindful eating and its potential for use in dietetics.
