Passionate About:

As a clinical nutrition major at UC Davis, I have grown to understand and appreciate the need for nutrition in leading a long and prosperous life. I worked this past summer at the UC Davis Medical Center in helping educate patients with Cardiovascular Disease on healthy food choices, which can have a huge impact on reducing the risk of future comorbidities as well as preventing further progression of the disease. From working with these patients I have seen how much education about nutrition can have an impact and make a difference. I believe that if more of the world is educated on basic nutrition and the impacts ones diet can have on their lifestyle; there would be many less nutrition related diseases among our society and the rest of the world. My passion is to share my knowledge about nutrition with both the youth and the elderly in hopes that this knowledge will lead people to make healthier decisions as well as live happier, healthier lifestyles.

UC Davis Nicaragua Spring Break 2016



Volunteer Activity Description

Come join us in our efforts in Nicaragua this coming Spring Break! GSEs Nicaragua program focuses on sustainable agriculture practices in Chacraseca. The goal of our projects is to create and maintain biointensive gardens that produce healthy food for young students at all 13 schools in Chacraseca. Each year students work in collaboration with Nicaraguan leaders and students on projects such as creating garden beds, building a greenhouse, or setting up irrigation.

Traveling with GSE means working alongside our Nicaraguan peers, hiking up a volcano through the mist of Lake Nicaragua, and visiting beautiful colonial Leon, a center of culture and history with many beautiful murals and cathedrals. Students experience Nicaragua through discussions about the countries social and environmental history. GSE Nicaragua staff and students welcome groups to their community and share their experience working on their school farms. Participants sample delicious local cuisine served at family farms, at local restaurants, as well as meals specially prepared for us and brought to our hostel.
