Name: Lindsey Goldberg
Hometown: Buffalo Grove, IL
Major: Dietetics
Why did you choose MSU FSHN for your major?
I have always been someone who likes to try new foods and experiment with different recipes. In today's world, being surrounded by so many misconceptions within nutrition, I want the opportunity to inform and educate others on how they can nourish themselves to stay healthy. I'm super passionate about helping others so they can reach a state of well-being.
What has been the most interesting thing you have learned during your major?
The most impactful thing I have learned so far is how food is a way to nourish our bodies and should not be taken away from us. Once food is restricted, that's when more problems can occur, which is why incorporating a variety of nutrient-dense foods to our diet is crucial.
What has receiving the G Malcolm Trout Undergraduate Scholarship and the Beth and Holly Fryer Endowed Scholarship meant to you?
Receiving these scholarships have allowed me to continue taking courses related to Dietetics which means a lot to me because I value my education. I am grateful to gain knowledge in this field especially because there is a wealth of information to learn from. It also gives me the opportunity to be curious and ask questions.
What are your future plans?
I plan on attending graduate school in order to get my master’s degree as a Registered Dietician. I'm hoping to work with children in a clinical setting whether they experience food sensitivities, allergies, diabetes, or any other medical conditions.
If there was only one thing you could share with someone considering MSU FSHN for their undergraduate experience, what would you tell them?
I would tell them that FSHN provides students with many opportunities that help students succeed later on, after college. For example, there are internships and volunteering opportunities that provide hands-on experience and can be done during the academic year.
