“Last year as I was looking to hire a Registered Dietitian to help teach our pediatric health curriculum within the Stamford, CT school district, Malina was a natural first-choice. She has since been a huge asset to our team and the kids she teaches thanks to her natural energy and enthusiasm and ability to relate well with both kids and adults. Malina’s ease and comfort with public speaking and her ability to connect with others in the audience are evident in her teaching. I highly recommend her!”
