welcome

My name is Olivia Jacobs, and I recently graduated from Concordia College with bachelor's degrees in Food, Nutrition, and Dietetics, and Communication Studies.

I've always had a deep love for cooking, which is what initially led me to pursue a degree in nutrition and dietetics. If there's one thing my friends know about me, it's that I like to create community through food, and many of my college friends were made through late night chocolate chip cookie drop offs.

After declaring my nutrition major, I learned that my passion for nutrition runs much deeper than being able to cook and provide food for others. I have become invested in understanding how nutrition and dietetics intersects with different political, environmental, and social issues. I've explored these interests through studying abroad, participating in different areas of Concordia's campus, and seeking learning opportunities ouside of the classroom, and I am looking forward to continuing this learning through participating in a dietetic internship.

I believe most of my experiences reflect my core beliefs, and you can explore some of these experiences by clicking on the tabs located on the side of the page.
