My name is Milli and I am a 24-year-old who just finished her Masters in Clinical Nutrition! I am on the road to becoming a Registered Dietitian, and I am very passionate about health, wellness, and lifestyle. I also am a violinist who plays for weddings and events in the Tri-Cities area, and I have designed this website to be a resource for those who are wanting to hire a local violinist or learn more about health and wellness.
Why I Became Interested In Nutrition
Growing up in East Tennessee, I was very involved with the arts-particularly dance and music. While dancing in my middle and high school years, I developed a very severe eating disorder known as Anorexia nervosa and lost a ton of weight. I was unaware of how to properly nourish my body for dance and had a very unhealthy relationship with food and my body. I also developed many gastrointestinal and hormonal issues during this time, and was later diagnosed with gluten, casein, and egg intolerances as well as hypothyroidism. After recovering from my eating disorder and changing my diet, I discovered the value that nutrition had on my life and decided to pursue it. I received my undergraduate degree in Clinical Nutrition in 2022, and recently received my Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition in 2023. I am super passionate to share my health and lifestyle tips so that I can help others who may have struggled in the same way I did in the past.
Violin Experience
I started playing the violin when I was 6 years old, and have played for a total of 18 years. My interest in violin started after watching one of my best friends in Kindergarten play the violin for the talent show at my school (shoutout to Chloe Wolfe). I took private lessons, participated in orchestra for many years, and have been a part of multiple bands. I am trained classically, but I can also play country, bluegrass, jazz, pop, celtic, and other genres of music. I have taught over 50 students within the last 4 years while completing my nutrition degrees. In addition, I have played for proposals, weddings, and events in and around the Tri-Cities area.
