Emma Sherry

3rd-Year Student

Hi everyone! My name is Emma Sherry, and I am a third-year nutritional science major with a focus on dietetics and sports performance. I aspire to become a Registered Dietitian and work in athletics to ensure athletes meet their nutritional goals.

I am from the small town of Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. Currently, I am a student intern with the Penn State football team and the secretary of the Student Nutrition Association. Outside of academics, I love to cook, bake, travel, and go to concerts!

3rd-Year Student

Hi everyone! My name is Gillian, and I’m a 3rd-year Nutrition and Dietetics student. I am originally from Connecticut, but have made my way to Happy Valley due to the nutrition program's outstanding reputation. I plan to get my master's and become a Registered Dietitian specializing in sports performance. I also plan to build my own private practice.

In the past, I had the opportunity to be a sports nutrition intern for UConn athletics and currently, I work as an intern for Penn State athletics. I have gained experience with nutrition professionals in entrepreneurship as well.

I enjoy running and racing long distances and have qualified for the Boston Marathon. I love food, the holiday seasons, and an iced latte. 

This initiative highlights our Nutritional Sciences major through the eyes of Emma and Gillian. We encourage you to follow them, comment on posts, ask questions, and even offer to provide your own experience as a student.
