MAND December Student/Intern Spotlight: Tahlia Haas

TAHLIA HAAS – MAND STUDENT BOARD MEMBER

Hi! My name is Tahlia Haas and I go to Concordia College in Moorhead MN. I am a senior studying Food/Nutrition/Dietetics. I have sung in the Concordia Choir for the past three years and this year am I am a part of the board as the secretary. In my free time, I love to cook, bake, go on walks, and hang out with friends. I plan on going to graduate school to become a RD. I am specifically interested in public health and clinical nutrition.

Freshman year I took an inquiry class called “What’s For Dinner?” that was basically an introductory level food science class. I immediately fell in love with the science behind food as well as debunking common myths. I am very interested in learning more about medical nutrition therapy. Concordia gave a great foundation about MNT but I am excited in taking that knowledge to the next level. I am also very curious about the public health aspect to nutrition. I am a firm believer that everyone should have access to healthy food and that we need to implement better ways to nutritionally prevent chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
