Roxanne is a qualified nutritionist who has worked in the Australian food industry for almost four years. Former president of MNDS, she graduated from Monash University in 2016 with the Bachelor of Nutrition Science degree. However, prior to her nutrition degree, she had also completed a Bachelor of Commerce at Melbourne University, making her career journey and skill set very different to most. 

In this bite, Roxanne debunks many of the myths we commonly hold surrounding nutritionists who work in the food industry. We discuss how she decided to make the switch from commerce to nutrition, why she decided to not pursue dietetics and how she landed a highly-coveted role at Simplot Australia. Roxanne explains the merit and opportunity contained in a nutrition undergraduate degree and what a day in her life as a corporate nutritionist looks like.
