About me
Internship
Clinical practice: During my clinical practice in high-complexity hospitals, I had the opportunity to emphasize the crucial role of the nutrition professional in the patient’s nutritional care process. I worked with both pediatric and adult patients, addressing various disease conditions. This experience allowed me to develop skills that enabled me to function effectively within the hospital context while reaffirming ethical values.
Community : During my public health practice, I had the opportunity to participate in food security and nutritional programs sponsored by the Mayor’s Office of Bogotá, specifically in the Rafael Uribe Uribe locality. I collaborated across disciplines to address issues related to iron deficiency and childhood malnutrition.
Food Service: Throughout my tenure, I actively engaged in various critical aspects of food service management. Specifically, I played a pivotal role in the contracting of outsourced food services. I participated in the process of intervention for contracting external food services. This involved evaluating potential vendors, skillfully negotiating contracts, and meticulously ensuring compliance with quality standards. My commitment to excellence in food service allowed me to contribute effectively to the overall operational success.
Background
During my time in high-complexity clinics, I had the honor of contributing to patients’ well-being through comprehensive nutritional care. This was supported by my experience as an Ad Honorem professor awarded by the National University of Colombia at the Mederi University Hospital. Additionally, I was part of the adult intensive care team and an active member of the nutritional support group. Furthermore, I played an active role in the neonatal care unit and lactation room, providing nutritional support to both newborns and breastfeeding mothers.
My commitment was always to be a bridge between science and practice, guiding my patients toward a healthier life through proper nutrition.
I conducted thorough assessments one by one for patients with chronic diseases, cancer, and special dietary needs during individual consultations.
My personalized approach included meal planning tailored to specific health goals, cultural preferences, and medical backgrounds.
