MSC MASTERS IN DIETETICS, TEESIDE UNIVERSITY

My academic background in Food science and Nutrition, and always having a yearning to help others in a clinical setting, has encouraged me to pursue a Masters degree in Dietetics.

I hope to promote food and diet as a form of medicine as inspired by the teachings of Prophet Muhammed (saws) and aid those who suffer from chronic illnesses, with a particular interest in pre and post-natal nutrition.

I have noticed a lack of representation of Muslims in healthcare and hope that my presence will motivate more Muslims to consider roles within STEM subjects. By using the knowledge I have gained, I hope to help the community adopt healthy eating and healthy mindsets.
