Through an internship and honors thesis, nutrition major Anna-Moriah Fung, ’24, expanded her knowledge and passion for the field. Her next step: pursuing a Master of Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“I chose to study nutrition because I grew up dancing. I saw and encountered a lot of interesting relationships with food. I underwent it myself, and I wondered what goes on beyond just feeding yourself day to day, how this affects your mental health, your physical performance, especially for dancers and athletes. Once I started that degree here at Meredith I learned that there are so many more nuances to the world of nutrition, how it affects so many things from our economy, to our public health, to our politics.”
