I am passionate about expanding my expertise in the dynamic field of nutrition and dietetics, driven by a deep commitment to serving humankind.

I aspire to deepen my understanding of evidence-based nutritional practices, personalized diet planning, and medical nutrition therapy for managing and preventing chronic diseases.

What you are interested in working with us?
I want to work as a dietitian.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
In my past experiences, I have encountered challenges during patient counseling, particularly with individuals who remain resistant to changing their unhealthy eating behaviors. Despite providing evidence-based recommendations and personalized dietary plans, some patients struggle to adopt healthier habits due to deeply ingrained behaviors, cultural influences, or emotional connections to certain foods. These situations have required me to exercise patience, empathy, and creativity to understand the root causes of their resistance.
To address these challenges, I have adopted several strategies to facilitate positive behavior change. One approach involves motivational interviewing techniques, where I engage patients in open-ended conversations to explore their values, goals, and ambivalence toward change. This method helps patients feel heard and supported, empowering them to take ownership of their health decisions.

As a recent graduate of BS Human Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Home Economics, Lahore, I am eager to apply my academic knowledge, practical experience, and passion for promoting health and well-being to contribute meaningfully to your organization's goals.

Through my coursework and research projects, I have developed a deep understanding of the critical role proper nutrition plays during key stages of development, particularly in children. My studies encompassed diverse areas, including nutrition assessment, dietary planning, and nutrition education, equipping me with the theoretical and practical tools needed to address individual and community nutritional needs effectively.

My practical experience has further solidified my expertise. As the Director of Health at the Incredible Youth Society, I played a pivotal role in planning and implementing nutrition education programs for underprivileged children. This opportunity enhanced my communication and team-building abilities while teaching me to adapt to diverse environments and collaborate with individuals from various backgrounds. Additionally, during my internship at the Punjab Food Authority, Lahore, I gained valuable analytical experience by collecting and analyzing data on children’s nutritional status. This data directly contributed to designing targeted interventions to combat malnutrition.

Beyond my academic and professional achievements, I am proficient in using tools such as Microsoft Office, nutrition software, and Canva, enabling me to create impactful materials and streamline data-driven decision-making processes. My strong analytical skills and commitment to evidence-based practice further support my ability to deliver meaningful results in the field of nutrition and dietetics.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my knowledge and experience to your company and to work collaboratively toward improving community health outcomes. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my background aligns with your needs.
