Personal
Graduated from Sacramento State this past spring with a bachelor's degree in dietetics ... pursuing her master's in nutrition at Cal Poly with hopes of becoming a sports dietitian ... maternal grandfather, Glen Underwood, played football at Sacramento State (1958-1959) ... chose Cal Poly because it is "one of the best public universities in California for master’s programs. The resources, professors and opportunities presented in the nutrition department made it such an easy decision. It has been a goal of mine to get into grad school at Cal Poly since 2018. Being involved and working with the student athletes at Cal Poly with their nutrition is what I aspire to do in my career as a sports dietitian."
