Maryam | President

I am honoured to be your NECO President this year! This is my third year being a part of this amazing organization. My team and I are excited to promote nutrition education and awareness across Manitoban communities in engaging and inspiring formats.

What is your favourite U of M moment & why?

The moment that has made my experience at UM the most enjoyable was hosting the interprofessional mixer night, where I got the opportunity to chat with various professors about their research and all the positive impact they could bring!

When did you know that the FAFS is where you wanted to be?

My ‘aha’ moment occurred the instant I realized that I enjoyed the content in my first introductory nutrition course. It just made perfect sense.

What are you most looking forward to this academic year?

Hosting many successful NECO events with my team and seeing all you there!

What is your favourite food to cook?

I love making my mini biscoff cheesecakes, they’re an absolute fan favorite!
