Interview<br />
Claudia Rivero<br />
University of North Florida<br />
How long have you been in the field?<br />
I have been in the field for 36 years.<br />
What made you pursue the career/degree<br />
that you have?<br />
The university that she had attended, in Alabama<br />
.<br />
was taught by amazing teachers. She was taking<br />
nutrition classes with those teachers and ended<br />
up falling in love with the science of it. She<br />
realized how much she loved chemistry and food<br />
chemistry. She was not even aware this was a<br />
profession she could go into up until this. “It<br />
became a natural thing for me to do”, she states.<br />
What brought you to UNF?<br />
I started with a master’s in nutrition at the<br />
University of North Florida. After this, I fell in love<br />
with the professors. Therefore, I decided to<br />
continue to get my doctorate. I have now been<br />
working at UNF for a year.<br />
Did you always know that you wanted to<br />
be a part or a university or a professor?<br />
After having many other jobs in the nutrition field,<br />
I realized that I could teach and share knowledge.<br />
I love the people side of Nutrition and find it to be<br />
an important thing to teach.<br />
