Nutrition student Bryce Hunt highlighted by Nevada Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

"Bryce Hunt is a nutrition student at UNR specializing in dietetics.

Bryce currently has two jobs in addition to finishing his degree. He works at Renown Rehab Hospital as a Nutrition Representative. He also works at a Nutrition Microbiome Research Lab on campus under the guidance of Dr. Steven Frese. Over the past year, Bryce has also volunteered at various food collectives and non-profits such as Eddy House (a Reno-based nonprofit that provides housing and support for homeless youth), Urban Roots (a small community farm that educated children and families on crops and foods), and the Food Bank of Northern Nevada.

Bryce wants to become an RD because he loves sharing knowledge. To make a difference in the community once he becomes an RD, Bryce wants to have a hand in making nutrition literacy more attainable.

In his spare time, Bryce likes to hike, walk, cook, ferment various foods (like cider, kombucha, and sauerkraut), and start projects."
