Completed a clinical nutrition internship at Infernetto Medica in Rome, where I developed individualized weekly nutrition plans for four patients with unique medical conditions and dietary needs. Beyond applying clinical nutrition principles, this experience deepened my understanding of how culture shapes healthcare practices and approaches to medicine. One of my favorite discoveries was seeing how differently common health concerns are addressed across countries. For example, while an American physician may commonly recommend an over-the-counter remedy like Tums for heartburn, an Italian physician might suggest lifestyle-based approaches, such as drinking warm lemon water in the morning.
