LIFE Center Spring Financial Literacy Series (March 2018)
Keynote speaker at the Literacy in Financial Education (LIFE) Center Spring financial literacy series, Financial Fundamentals. I discussed the importance of budgeting and how that relates to college life and consuming a healthy diet while in college. I educated attendees on how to make a personalized budget, nutritional trends for college students, how to eat healthy foods in the dining halls, reading nutrition labels, and how to shop for healthy food items on a budget.

Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (October 2017)
I attended my first Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo in Chicago, October 2017. It was an amazing experience. It was a weekend full of learning and networking! I enjoyed interacting with all the great vendors and learning how other nutrition professionals are using their hard-earned credentials. Getting to reconnect with some of my fellow fighting Illini was a highlight as well!
