RESUME

Exercise is king.

Nutrition is queen.

together and you’ve got a kingdom.

I am currently studying Nutrition and Dietetics at Southern Illinois University with the goal of becoming a Registered Dietitian in the summer of 2024. Prior to this, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Financial Administration from ITESM, renowned as the top university in business in Mexico according to university ratings. Additionally, I dedicated myself to high-performance Taekwondo until I was 22.

My journey towards a career in nutrition began during my undergraduate studies when I discovered a strong passion for helping athletes without proper support or guidance to reach their full potential. This led me to establish a brand focused on providing easy, healthy, and suitable snacks tailored for athletes lacking time and nutritional knowledge.

However, as I explored deeper into this business idea, I realized the necessity for additional expertise to advance my brand. Consequently, I embarked on my current journey in Dietetics & Nutrition. Currently, my ambitions exceed the academic activities. I aspire to not only aid athletes in optimizing their performance through nutrition but also to enhance my brand by engaging directly with athletes, understanding their daily routines, and supplying to their specific needs.

concentration

My interest in sports nutrition as both an athlete and a future dietitian is deeply rooted in my firsthand experience of how proper nutrition can significantly impact athletic performance. Through my years as an athlete in Taekwondo, I've witnessed the direct correlation between dietary choices and physical capability. This personal journey has fueled my passion to understand and apply nutritional principles to optimize performance, enhance recovery, and reduce injury risk. With academic training in Nutrition and Dietetics, I aspire to merge my athletic experiences with scientific knowledge to guide fellow athletes toward their peak potential while prioritizing their overall health and well-being.
