A doctoral candidate at the School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Deakin University, Australia, and a Research Fellow at the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, Chennai, India. With a strong passion for expanding my knowledge in Nutrition and Dietetics, I am eager to explore and master the intricate aspects of human physiology and metabolism. Although new to the field, my enthusiasm and dedication drive my ambition to develop a deeper understanding of these critical areas.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Home Science with a specialization in Nutrition, Food Service Management, and Dietetics from Women’s Christian College, Chennai, India. I further pursued a Master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics from PSG College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore, India.
