As written on her website:
Who I am
I am international level powerlifter, bodybuilder and an interdisciplinary scientist with a PhD in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, working in the field of sports nutrition, exercise science, mental health and food science.
What did I do in the past years:
I coached over 250 people to optimize their health, performance, and mental well-being
I wrote over 150 articles as expert for plant-based protein, nutrition, and exercise science for digital and printed media, such as Men’s Fitness Magazine
I developed novel recipes and food products turning popular desserts and pastries into delicious and nutritious high-quality plant-protein sources that allowed hundreds of people around the world losing weight and maintaining a healthy diet while reducing the use of animal products
I ran research studies with strength athletes to optimize protein intake for recovery from resistance training and to maximize satiety on a weight loss diet
I am vegan because I try to do the least harm possible; to myself, other people, the animals and the environment.
I believe that everyone can contribute to making this world a better place and the best place to start is with oneself:
"You must be the change you want to see in the world" - Mahatma Ghandi
