Hi there! My name is Kaylee Mitchell and I'm a senior at Oregon State University. I am about to graduate with a degree in the field of Dietetics with a minor in Exercise Physiology. I am a three sport athlete at OSU, competing on the cross country team in the Fall, the indoor track team in the Winter, and the outdoor track team in the Spring.
I have a strong passion for helping others achieve their goals through nutrition.
Personal Bio

BS in Dietetics
Minor in exercise physiology
Currently working towards an MPH with en emphasis on physical activity
My current passion and main interest lies in sports nutrition. As an athlete, I know how important of a role nutrition plays in the recovery of athletes and how it can help you achieve your athletic goals. I also know that the relationship between an athlete and food can be complicated, and sometimes not the best. I feel that everyone deserves to have a positive relationship with food, and I am extremely passionate about helping everyone I interact with to gain that.
Helping others has always been a value of mine, and I know that over the course of my career I want to work with a variety of different groups in the nutrition world. Other areas of interest lie in working with patients in the ICU and NICU, as well as helping individuals to use nutrition and physicale activity to achieve their goal body weight, and to help people heal their relationships with food who struggle from eating disorders.
