Hi, my name's Daisy Barnham. I graduated from QUT with a bachelor degree in nutrition.

A nutritionist works with community groups on a population level to make changes to everyday health. The beauty of studying at QUT was the diversity of electives that were on offer. So I was able to study things that particularly were relevant for me, so things like government policy and sustainability.

When I was at QUT I did an 8-week placement with Queensland Health. And that was great - I was working with a primary school up in North Brisbane, working with the kids to teach them what vegetables and fruits were nice and healthy and what foods they should avoid.

A degree in nutrition really sets you up well to have a whole variety of career choices in front of you. I'm now working for an environmental and food organisation, following my passion to improve the sustainability of our food supply.

My degree in nutrition from QUT has given me a really solid platform to go and take my skills and share them with the rest of the world, and I think that's pretty exciting.
