Community Nutrition Practicum Experience

During my Community Nutrition Practicum with UTSA Dining/Aramark, I supported the campus Nutritionist in planning, preparing, and delivering nutrition-focused events for students. My responsibilities included food demonstrations, recipe development, nutrition education, community engagement, and organizing interactive outreach activities designed to promote budget-friendly, accessible, and culturally inclusive eating habits.
