Intern

About

As a current third year mature Nutrition student, Caroline has an interest in the community levels of nutritional knowledge and its practical application in the food choices people make.
With a background in catering management within the NHS for over 34 years, Caroline is aware of the essential part nutrition plays in impacting performance, wellbeing, and recovery from both physical and mental health conditions.
Other interests include volunteering with two other charities, one of which provides nutritious, home cooked lunches in a local community setting with a view to bringing people together to prevent isolation and improve wellbeing. The other fundraises to promote equality of opportunity worldwide.


Developing skills in making healthy food choices are essential in allowing us to maximise our full potential, mentally and physically.
