"UPEI has always been a supportive and collaborative academic environment."

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

I am a proud UPEI alumnus, having completed my degree in Foods and Nutrition and my Dietetic Internship here. Currently, I work at UPEI as the Professional Practice Coordinator for the Dietetic Internship Program, so returning for my graduate studies felt like a natural choice. UPEI has always been a supportive and collaborative academic environment, and I was eager to be part of this community again.
