Our goal is to become an expert registered dietitian specializing in pathological nutrition.
At the hospital where I work, I mainly ask hospitalized patients if they have any allergies and give them dietary advice. During my time at the university, the teachers were always trying to break down my questions one by one so that I could understand them better. I am now making use of their way of speaking and choice of words when I give nutritional advice to patients. Also, the broader way of thinking and perspectives I gained from studying with other students is one of the reasons I am able to answer patients' questions more thoroughly. In the future, I would like to support the diets of all patients as a registered dietitian with expertise in various fields.

I want to achieve success as a food sales professional.
I work for a food wholesaler, delivering food to restaurants, izakayas, hotels, hospitals, nurseries, and more. When making deliveries, I also make sales proposals for menus and event meals during business negotiations with professional chefs and nutritionists. I've always been interested in food, and decided to enter this faculty because I could learn more about it. The knowledge of nutrition I gained while studying here is useful in my current job when I'm asked about allergies, halal food, ingredients, and so on. I hope to continue to make use of what I learned at university to improve my sales performance.

I work at a drugstore with a pharmacy, where I am in charge of the duties of a registered dietitian and floor duties such as product management. The main job of a registered dietitian is to provide health consultations. After graduating, I obtained qualifications as a registered salesperson. By utilizing my knowledge of medicine in addition to nutrition and health, I am able to help customers in a wider range of areas, which makes my job feel more rewarding. Also, when customers say "thank you," it motivates me to do my best. As a registered dietitian, I would like to gain more knowledge and confidence in the future.
