Some days she is at the student health center providing individual nutrition counseling, another day she might be running a program at the dining hall, or working on the menu reviewing food allergens for the food service production side. While it can be a lot of work and challenging at times, Holly has found working with students super rewarding and shares her perspective in this area of dietetics.
