Giovanna Patron

My name is Giovanna Patron and I am a first-generation college graduate from Texas State University as of December 2023. I earned my degree in nutrition and foods with a concentration in dietetics. I pursued a degree in nutrition because I am passionate about the healing and preventative aspects of nutrition. Throughout my educational career, I have gained invaluable knowledge that propelled me to help and counsel others to use food as medicine. I am seeking a position where I can use my expertise to make a difference in people’s through nutrition education and guidance.
