Intern Spotlight💡
My name is Martina Saa, and I completed my undergrad🎓 in Lubbock, Texas at Texas Tech University. I graduated in May of 2025 with a degree in Nutritional Sciences and Dietetics. I’m currently pursuing my graduate degree👩🎓 through Texas Tech as well and plan on graduating in August of 2026. During undergrad I was able to participate in numerous nutrition related volunteer experiences. I was a member of the Student Nutrition Organization where I learned about nutrition in the community via guest speakers, volunteered at the South Plains food bank, and learned valuable aspects about the field of dietetics each meeting. In my last semester, my class also went to the Boys and Girls club👦🏼👧🏻 where we taught weekly nutrition education as well as physical activities to middle school aged children.
Around Thanksgiving🦃 we got the opportunity to teach elementary school aged children the different food groups along with the different vitamins they contain and why we should eat them! Whether it was in medical nutrition therapy classes or volunteering in the community, I gained hands-on knowledge in both the food service and clinical side of dietetics through Texas Tech. I’m more than excited to apply my knowledge through my dietetic internship and learn more every day!
Outside of the classroom I enjoy activities that get me up and moving. I love workout classes, going on walks🚶🏻♀️, hiking, swimming🏊🏼, farmers markets, traveling🛅, and trying new foods and coffee spots. My family and friends are my support system, and I wouldn’t be where I’m at without them.
We are so proud to have you as part of the Aramark Dietetic Internship, Martina💯😊! Stay tuned as we feature all our August start interns who will finish in April 2026.
