My pull-up update👏🏻

I’m still working on getting 1️⃣0️⃣ but definitely getting closer & stronger!!! My consistency in training at least 4-5 times a week and fueling over the last few months has been paying off. I make sure to eat carbs to fuel my workouts and protein to recover and build muscle. Nutrition is an IMPORTANT part if you want results!!! #trainingnutrition #pullups #gymgirl #fuelyourbodyright #futureregistereddietitian by @aliyah.nutrition

I’m so grateful for everything 2025 has brought me. So many amazing opportunities, unforgettable experiences, and milestones that are shaping my future as a registered dietitian and certified personal trainer 🤍

1. I graduated with my bachelor’s and finished my first official semester of my masters with a perfect 4.0 gpa
2. Placed top 9 among females in a 5K, ran over 200 miles, getting closer to 10 pull-ups, found my gym bestie, and started a consistent workout routine
3. Launched my meal prep business and became comfortable in the kitchen, including with international dishes
4. Became the @mainestars_cheergym sports nutritionist with a FULL schedule of sessions, educating the athletes
5. I had so many amazing opportunities to work with elementary schools doing taste testings with the kids
6. AND I got into my top dietetic internship in Florida for next year!!!!

I’m beyond excited for what’s to come in 2026!🙌🏻 by @aliyah.nutrition

I got to present my research on the significant association I found between caffeine consumption and bone mineral density at the UNH Graduate Research Conference 🎓🤍 Getting to share my work and have meaningful conversations with people who were interested in my project made all the effort behind it feel so worth it. #ResearchConference #GradStudent #Nutrition #FutureRDN by @aliyah.nutrition
