Hello and welcome to my Digital Portfolio!
My name is Katie Brown and I am a graduate of the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana and I am doing my Dietetic internship at University at Buffalo starting this fall. Without food we cannot survive but by understanding it we can thrive. I am fascinated by food's effects on culture, health, the economy, and medical recovery.
Nutrition is needed to compliment medicine so that the body can recover and heal. Research is at a critical point where we now understand so many mechanisms and applications to nutrition and I plan to help implement them into the medical care process.
I am excited each day I get to work with the community members or hospital patients and teach them about nutrition or apply new nutritional information. It is what drives me to be so active outside of the classroom and has inspired me to become a Registered Dietitian.
Note: I have a passion for photography, so many of photos on this site I have taken myself. I hope you enjoy the added color!
