"I completed the IIN live program in 2009 which started me on my nutrition path. I was mesmerized by the education I received from some of the greatest minds in nutrition. I began coaching and looked for ways to continue to pursue my interest in integrative nutrition. I learned of the Master of Nutrition & Integrative Health Program at MUIH, and was one of the first people to apply. Since graduating in 2013, I have been working in public health, promoting food as medicine to countless individuals. I am grateful to IIN and to MUIH for helping me realize my dream.”
