Welcome to Rooted in Nutrition- My Journey Begins!

8/9/2025

Hello and welcome! I’m so excited you’re here.

In just one week, I’ll officially begin the next chapter of my journey, starting my master’s program in Nutritional Science this Fall 2025 semester. It feels surreal to think about how far I’ve come, and I can’t wait to share every step of this adventure with you.

Why Rooted in Nutrition?
This blog is more than just a place for recipes or nutrition tips. It’s about staying grounded in science, culture, and community. My goal is to bring you along as I navigate graduate school, clinical training, and everything in between — the challenges, the wins, and the lessons learned.

What You Can Expect Here
Throughout this semester (and beyond), I’ll be sharing:

  • Behind-the-scenes of grad school life — from study strategies to my thesis research project.

  • Science-based nutrition insights you can use in your everyday life.

  • Cultural food stories that honor my Louisiana Creole roots and my husband’s Filipino heritage.

  • Wellness tips for building a healthy, balanced lifestyle during busy seasons.

Whether you’re here for inspiration, education, or just a little motivation, I hope you feel right at home in this space.

So, grab your favorite snack, settle in, and let’s start this journey together. Fall 2025 — here we come!
