About

 Isabella Dang is a Southern California native who is currently a dietetic intern at the University of Maryland, College Park. Isabella’s interest in nutrition stemmed from her curiosity over the medicinal properties of food and how her mother’s homemade soups became her family’s “cure” to a common cold. Since her youth, Isabella was surrounded by aspects of food and nutrition through beating eggs and cutting vegetables at her family’s Chinese restaurant and sports nutrition talks during her high school cross country and track seasons. In college, Isabella worked on her campus dining sustainability team and learned how food interweaves itself into larger concentrations like environmental concerns, politics, and business. Isabella took what she learned into practice by revamping her campus dining’s social media guidelines and overseeing menu labeling as a Menus of Change coordinator. Isabella is all about trying new things and using her knowledge to help others. She has been grateful to have experienced volunteering at an oncology clinic, teaching kids about healthy eating, and using design skills to create educational material. 

Isabella has done freelance work including recipe development for a food blog and continues with R&D work for San Francisco startups. If you have an innovative nutrition, food and beverage idea, Isabella would love to work with you!
