Hello, my name is Airell Faye Palarpalar, and I am currently a Nutrition and Food Service Management student at Centennial College. My passion for food, health, and service began in the Philippines, where I became a Registered Dietitian before moving to Canada to continue my studies and expand my career opportunities.

I have always been fascinated by food and the science behind it. From an early age, I was amazed by the idea that what we eat can profoundly affect our health and well-being. The phrase “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” has always inspired me, as it highlights the powerful connection between nutrition and healing. This belief continues to guide me in the field of Nutrition and Food Service Management, where I strive to ensure that food is not only safe and enjoyable but also contributes to health, wellness, and improved quality of life for the people it serves.

As someone who lives by Stoic principles, I believe that true growth comes from discipline, perseverance, and focusing on what we can control. A quote that inspires me throughout my journey is from Marcus Aurelius:

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good person should be. Be one.”

This quote reminds me to not only strive for excellence in my career but also to lead with integrity, humility, and dedication. My ultimate goal is to pursue a career in nutrition and food service management, where I can combine my leadership skills and clinical knowledge to make a meaningful impact on people’s health and well-being.

One of my key strengths is my flexible work ethic, which allows me to adapt quickly to different tasks and environments. I also bring strong critical thinking skills that help me analyze situations and make effective decisions. In addition, my communication skills enable me to work well with others and contribute positively to a team setting.

My main development goals are to improve my leadership skills in food service operations, gain more practical knowledge in clinical nutrition, and strengthen my problem-solving abilities in the workplace. By improving my leadership, I hope to become more confident in supervising staff, organizing tasks, and ensuring smooth daily operations. By focusing on clinical nutrition, I want to connect what I have learned in school to real-life situations and apply it to patient care. Strengthening my problem-solving skills will help me respond better to challenges, make good decisions under pressure, and manage multiple responsibilities at the same time. These goals will guide me during my placement and prepare me to grow into a skilled and responsible professional in the field of nutrition and food service management.
