my interest in healthcare is what led me to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Health Science at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF).

Through out my studies I participated in many research projects, however one in particular helped motivated me to produce my own goals as a potential healthcare professional. In an effort to implement a nutrition education program amongst CSUF students, I focused on planning, implementing, and evaluating feasible methods for delivering educational services. Throughout this project I developed personal goals that included, but were not limited to, implementing effective methods of healthcare delivery and promoting a safe environment. Towards the end of my undergraduate studies I decided to intern at the UCLA Medical Center and at the Center for Successful Aging at CSUF.

I ensure that all patients have a positive experience not just because it is my job, but also because I genuinely care. The past couple of months have been very challenging, but I can honestly say that I am excited to use the new skills that I have gained towards earning my graduate

Similar to other immigrants my family history is somewhat compelling. Starting with my grandfather who was exiled out of Egypt in 1959 primarily as a result of the "decolonization process and the rise of Egyptian nationalism”, my immediate family and I also left France in 2004 as a result of rising tension against Jews. The migration of my grandparents and parents, from a young age, cultivated a sense of determination in me to overcome obstacles.

On the other hand, volunteering at the food and nutrition department and the MOVE! program at West Los Angeles VA Medical Center and shadowing dietitians helped me to gain a broader vision of a dietetics work. I came into contact with veteran patients who had various underlining health issues and I was particularly fascinated with how each patient trusted and valued the help of the dietitian’s advice. In my clinical experience, I found out about the importance of one on one communication with patients as well as learning about my own strengths and
