Graduated with PGDipDiet
Diabetes Dietitian, Waitemata Primary Health Organisation
I chose to study Human Nutrition at Otago because of the reputation of the Department with its leading nutrition experts.
I gained valuable research and analytical skills during my studies which have guided me in providing sound and evidence-based nutrition information to my patients.
In this role I see patients with Type 2 diabetes on a one-to-one basis. I also facilitate the group-based nutrition component of the Diabetes Self-Management Education course. This is a challenging and fulfilling role where I work with many different people which has increased my confidence as a public speaker.
The University of Otago is a great place to study because of the support offered by lecturers, tutors and groups associated with the University.
I highly recommend that future students make the most of these excellent support systems to achieve your goals and make the most of your time at Otago.
