B.Sc. Home Science

With an aim to serve the society, I had medicine as my base in the final years of my school, which gradually evolved into community nutrition as my field of service as I graduated from Government Home Science College, Chandigarh. During the graduation, I’ve had the assistance to conduct surveys, rallies and be a part of awareness programmes such as breast feeding awareness week and Poshan-Maha under NSS. I prospect to add onto this list with this internship, while keeping in touch with my elementary dream.

Goals

In the present scenario the world is fighting a heavily contagious virus to which no vaccine is available so far and to merely avoid touch and public places is just not enough. This is where people realize how important their immunity is, and where people like us, nutritionists step in. 
My goal is to become a clinical nutritionist, I want to be able to help people change their lives by altering their habits and having faith in their own bodies and maintaining healthy habits which yield happy lives.  
“Every little step I progress, affirms my faith into the bigger picture” This has been the driving force since I first stepped into the ‘Food and Nutrition’ course, In the coming year I’d be completing my post-graduation and will be doing hospital training which is a part of the academic curriculum to actualize my learning into practical field and have a firsthand experience. With the completion of my post-graduation, I will have ample theory knowledge and it would be the best time to put my knowledge to practice by working under experienced dietitians and nutrition experts, and helping the public achieve better and healthy lives. 
The year 2020 however, has dawned upon us with a multitude of perils which has made us vulnerable not just physically but also mentally. Though the current times have made everyone ponder upon the personal as well as professional aspects of the future, however it has made me infuse my learning into practice even more passionately and grow as a ‘wellness coach’, that is exactly what I see myself working upon in the coming year.   
In the coming years, I plan to establish my own clinic for assisting people with their nutritional requirements and overall wellness. I plan on keeping up with the latest research and new findings in the field by continuing my educational journey through the means of distance or online courses. I want to be in a position where I will be able to influence people to bring about an extensive change in their lifestyle, from their dietary habits to overall healthier alternatives related to immunity and fitness; this is how I envision myself in 3 years. The all-encompassing word ‘immunity’ consists of the benefits nutrients provides to the human anatomy while considering the role of factors such as workout routines, emotional and hormonal balance and the sleeping pattern. My role won’t be merely confined to being a nutritionist, but to steer the concept of balanced lifestyle into concrete form with a deliberate focus on the factors beyond diet, which include mindfulness and being aware of one’s own emotions. I also plan to extend my services to geriatric patients who are not always capable of availing such services.
