Choosing Boston University’s DPD/MS+DI degree was the best choice I could have made for myself and my career. With BU, you are receiving a top of the line education from dietitians and professors who are out in the field working and helping to develop and grow the field of nutrition. Outside of the classroom, BU and the city of Boston allow you so many one of a kind opportunities to explore. During my time at BU, I was able to work with Dr. Quatromoni and Meg Salvia at Walden Behavioral Care to explore my interest in eating disorders. I was also provided opportunities in sports nutrition – the area I am now working in! Being an alumni, I now have a whole network of dietitians and colleagues that I can turn to and who continue to support me in my career.

When I first began researching different nutrition graduate programs, BU and one faculty member’s work in particular caught my eye. In fact, my whole admissions essay was centered around the prospect of training alongside that professor, Dr. Paula Quatromoni, in her Nutritional Epidemiology Lab. Fast forward nearly 2.5 years, and I am now working in that exact lab and have gone on to present our research on both a regional and national stage. My dream has become a reality. In the end, BU has supported and provided me with the resources to ensure that this goal of mine made it well beyond the application portal.
