About Prin
Hello! My name is Prin, and I'm very excited to work with you! Regarding my educational background, I earned my BS in Nutritional Sciences from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State, go Nittany Lions!) in May 2020, while also earning a minor in Psychological Sciences. I then went on to earn my Masters of Professional Studies degree in Nutritional Sciences from Penn State University in August 2022. Since starting my first full time position in November 2022 to present, I have been working in long term care/skilled nursing, focusing on the older adult population. In terms of extracurriculars, I was also previously involved with the DC Metro Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as Treasurer-Elect and Treasurer, as well as the Penn State Nutrition and Dietetics Alumni Society as Communications Chair.
Approach to care
I create welcoming, nonjudgmental environments where curiosity when discussing food and nutrition is encouraged. All questions are welcome and will be answered in a kind, professional manner. Be prepared to be challenged in a fun and engaging way, and be willing to learn something new! If there is something I do not know, I will be honest and upfront about it! This will be an environment where we can learn together.
Your first session with Prin
I would like my clients to come with an open mind, a willingness to learn, and a desire for fruitful, candid conversations. Our sessions will be a two-way conversation, and I will listen with compassion and empathy. We dive in deep to establish initial goals that are realistic and feasible for you to achieve. I'm excited to work with you!
