Welcome back! On behalf of the NCU, we hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable winter break! We wanted to kick of the first Monday of the semester with a quote: The doors will be opened to those who are bold enough to knock. - Tony Gaskins... We wish you the best of luck with the semester!

Our next guest speaker is... Kimberley Gittens! Kimberley grew up in Barbados, before moving up to Canada for school. Because of back-and-forth over the years, Kimberley's resume and experiences tend to be quite a bit difference from her friends and others in her cohort. Kimberley completed her undergraduate degree in Bio-Medical Science at University of Guelph before going to Acadia University for Nutrition and is currently studying at Ryerson in the MHSc program. ... Although Kimberley does not have a lot of specific nutrition volunteer experiences, her volunteer experiences tend to be medical related, and she also completed a summer with the Barbados Diabetes Foundation. Kimberley is interested in private practice and chronic disease management. She is currently doing research on the role of nutrition education in hypertension management. Follow Kimberley on Instagram @rootednutrition.wi or on her email: [email protected] Mark your calendars on December 14 to watch Kimberley's NCU takeover and gain insights into master's application process! See you all there!
