STUDENT LEADERSHIP
Bailee Chavez (President):
My name is Bailee Chavez, and I am honored to be the 2023-24 TSDA President. After I graduate from Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and a minor in psychology, I will enter a combined master’s degree/internship program in order to become a dietitian. My dream is to open up my own practice with a variety of services ranging from eating disorder treatment maternal nutrition, and weight management. I love TSDA because it has connected me with many high-caliber nutrition professionals and students. It’s been fantastic to join them in promoting health and wellness while also prioritizing fun.
