THE FOUNDATION

Mount Carmel College (MCC), Bengaluru

My foundation in nutrition began at Mount Carmel College, where I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition, Dietetics, Chemistry & Zoology. MCC didn't just give me a degree, it opened my eyes to the science of food, the biochemistry behind cooking, digestion, and disease.

Most health conditions begin with food and when given in the right way, food can also be the medicine that heals.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Sri Ramachandra University - M.Sc. Clinical Nutrition

I went on to pursue my M.Sc. in Clinical Nutrition at Sri Ramachandra University, one of India's leading medical universities. This is where my curiosity evolved into scientific clarity. I explored antioxidants, chemoprotective nutrients, cell studies, and the intricate ways food interacts with human biology.

Nutrition is not just numbers. Food is energy, digestion, culture, and medicine.
