Quote from Sara Grist - perusing a degree in Food, Health & Nutritional Sciences at UBC
“Helping others has always been something that makes me happy, so I feel that by becoming a dietician or nutritionist, will enable me to do so. If I can help someone live longer and healthier by creating them a meal plan and giving them the knowledge they need to become a more active individual, then I will feel that I have become a useful member of society.”
