My name is  Maital Yeroshalmy, and I am a Dietetics major at Queens College, planning to graduate in December 2026, at the end of the Fall semester. I grew up in, a large Middle Eastern family that always emphasized healthy eating and followed many principles of the Mediterranean diet. As I grew older, I began to notice the many misconceptions and conflicting messages surrounding food, eating habits, and nutrition. This inspired me to learn more about the science of nutrition and to understand the deeper meaning behind what makes a lifestyle truly healthy.

My goal as a future Registered Dietitian is to help individuals create balanced, sustainable lifestyles tailored to their unique needs. This portfolio highlights examples of my academic work, internship experiences, and volunteer involvement that reflect my growth and dedication to the field of dietetics.
