| January's Athena of the Month: Gabrielle Margiotta by Sarah Cushing |
| Gabrielle Margiotta is a very driven young woman. A high school senior from New York, Gabrielle is not only thinking about college but is also planning for graduate school and is fine tuning her ideas about how she will use her education to teach children and teens about food and nutrition. Gabrielle took time out of her busy schedule to talk with AMG about her passion for science, her future goals and what she does in her spare time. Q: So Gabrielle, since you are a high school senior you must be thinking about what you are going to do once you graduate. A: Yes, I am—I want to go to college and major in food and nutrition and then become a dietician. I am deciding between two colleges right now. Q: Congratulations on your acceptances to college! The study of food and nutrition has a lot to do with science. Is science your favorite subject in school? |
| A: Well, my favorite class is a food and nutrition elective I am taking. But, I do like biology a lot—I am taking Advanced Placement biology right now. Q: What is it about food and nutrition that interests you so much? A: I think it is so interesting because it is such a big part of life. Food affects every aspect of your life—especially children’s lives because they are growing. |
