Welcome!

Hello, my name is Lexi Nelson, welcome to my portfolio! I will be graduating from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota in the spring of 2020 with a bachelor's degree in Food, Nutrition, and Dietetics.

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to work in the healthcare field where I could make a positive impact in the lives of others. It only took a few nutrition classes for me to realize that my desired concentration in healthcare would be dietetics. As a three-sport athlete in high school, a collegiate athlete, and now someone who exercises daily, food and nutrition has played an important part of my life. That being said, I have always been mindful of what I eat to ensure I give my body the nourishment it needs to perform at its highest level. Through this, I have learned that the benefits of consuming a healthy, balanced diet provides my body with higher energy levels, allows for improved mood, and promotes both physical and mental strength. I want to share this overlooked, yet powerful impact of food with others so they too can utilize this beneficial tool that is right at our fingertips. I cannot wait to continue developing my future as a dietitian in a field where I will never stop learning.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio! Please explore through my additional pages to learn more about myself and my experiences. Feel free to contact me with any questions at lnelso29@cord.edu.
