Successfully graduating from this program has taught me the skills to:- collaborate with the Registered Dietitian to provide nutrition care to patients- work with patients at low-moderate nutrition risk- liaise between foodservice and clinical nutritionThis program combines a study of theory with practicum experience. I was able to develop a firm foundation in nutrition assessment, and clinical nutrition with an understanding of food services. My skills in critical thinking, decision-making and leadership were enhanced and the program gave me clinical based placements to apply my classroom based learning. Show less

      2004 - 2007
      Diploma Radio and Television Broadcasting Technology/Technician

      I have always believed in conversation and communication as the cornerstone to building an informed community. No matter if it’s a joyous occasion or a tragic event, people connect best through conversation. The ability to connect with people through spoken word led me to broadcasting. I successfully completed all courses including a four-month internship with a focus on on-air talent and promotional work. I received awards for production of radio documentaries and advertising.
