Who is my instructor?

I am Estefania Herrera (she/they) a Latina Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDNs) with a Masters in Nutrition Sciences. Born and raised in Mexico, immigrated to U.S to Las Vegas Nevada in 2012, and moved to Oregon about 2 years ago. I am married to a fellow Registered Dietitian & musician, we recently had a baby girl. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D in Public Health focused on Community Health at OHSU-PSU (I am taking a LOA). My main expertise is Cultural Responsive Care, thus I like to approach nutrition from a trauma-informed and social justice lens with some sparkles of mindfulness. 

My teaching philosophy:

To create opportunities for you to grow as individuals, professionals and citizens of the world. Our time together is designed to challenge our current mindset, and evaluate our own limiting beliefs that impair growth. Our space is expected to stimulate an inclusive and creative learning environment by accounting for the different learning styles and advocating collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity. 

My Health & Nutrition philosophy: 

My professional opinon is build on two premises: healthy people and healthy systems. We cannot have one without the other. For this course we will explore a lot of nutrition information in conjunction with learning how to navigate health beliefs, health behaviors, and health systems.
