Mia Tomasula is a senior at the University of Arizona studying Nutritional Sciences with an emphasis in dietetics.  Her passion for nutrition started around the summer of her junior year in high school.  As she was browsing Netflix, she stumbled upon a documentary entitled, “Cowspiracy” and others like it explaining the benefits of a vegan diet from a moral, health, and environmental prospective. Mia had never thought much about nutrition prior to that other than trying to lose weight with random fad diets, however, after deciding to go vegan, she started researching nutrition which led her to realize her passion. While her veganism only lasted about a year and half, her love of nutrition, health, and fitness has continued. Mia ran track and cross country in high school but over the last few years changed her routine to add weightlifting which helped tone and strengthen her body.  Seeing such drastic changes in her own body through weightlifting gave her a new passion and desire to want to help others fuel and love their bodies. Mia will be applying to graduate schools in order to obtain her Masters degree and earn her RDN credentials.  Her ultimate goal is to work with clients/athletes to help people fall in love with their bodies and fuel them optimally.
