Student Profile
Kristina Fucini, healthy eating
Kristina Fucini has been serving food since she graduated high school. Now she’s looking forward to a bright career teaching healthy eating habits.
Kristina began working at restaurants straight out of Brunswick High School. She’s now studying Dietetics & Nutrition and hopes to get into community dietetics with a school, a public health organization or maybe as a health coach when she graduates and enters the workforce.
It was scary for her to come to college more than a decade after graduating from high school.
“I’ve known forever this is what I want to do, and I finally decided to stop putting it off. There are only two programs in Maine for dietetics, and 91制片厂 was close, a lot less expensive and it gives you a well-rounded view of the dietetics world.”
