About Me

Hi my name is Lisa, and I'm currently in my second year of Food and Nutrition; but I'm hoping to get into the Nutrition program next year. Even though this is my second year in this program its actually only my first year in Edmonton because I transferred here from Red Deer College.

Some info about me is that I actually have a diploma in fashion marketing and merchandising. When I finish this program I hope to start my own consulting company by incorporating both the nutrition and fashion together. I grew in a small town south of Calgary. I love to play and watch baseball and hockey (and yes I'm a huge flames fan).

I think that communication will play a huge role if I started my own company because I would need a easy way to connect and link with my customers and future customers. This is where twitter and facebook are really useful because its an easy way to get your name out there and have people find you. Even just within the food and nutrition program communication is a necessity to get important information out to certain people or a certain demographic.  The use of twitter and such would be a very quick way of responding to people with questions about say their diet. Communication within this field is huge as well because there needs to be a quick way for dietitians to receive new information on research as well. The use of social media is growing and I think it's a great way for people connect to professionals for advice and information.
