She takes great interest in nature and taking care of the environment and finds in food science and nutrition a way to support our efforts towards a more sustainable future. After she moved away from home in Quito, Ecuador to the USA where she finished a Bachelor’s in Human Ecology, she became very aware of the impact food production has on Earth’s natural ecosystems. This motivated her to change her dietary habits (became vegan), and to alter her behavior as a consumer. After moving back to Ecuador and realizing the lack of offer of vegetarian/vegan foods she started experimenting and preparing food items that her family and friends enjoyed. She started a small entrepreneurship with a food product which boosted her passion for New Product Development and was then decided to study FS&N. Michelle believes it is in our hands to change the way we produce and consume food and is ready to raise awareness of the need for more sustainable products and practices in the food industry, while guiding her piers towards the roles in industry they are passionate about and that the world needs.</p> <p> </p> </div></div></div> <div class="visible-xs visible-sm"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary visible-xs" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#MichellePazmino">Close</button> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="short-form-links"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#MichellePazmino">Read</button> </div> </div><div class="field-item odd"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-2"> <div class="field field-name-field-short-form-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" src="https://www.ifst.org/sites/default/files/2_2.png" width="800" height="800" alt="" /></div></div></div> </div> <div class="col-xs-10"> <div class="short-form-title" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#GabrieleSergalyte"> <div class="field field-name-field-short-form-title field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Gabriele Sergalyte</div></div></div> <div class="field field-name-field-subtitle field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Secretary</div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="GabrieleSergalyte" class="collapse short-form-collapse"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-2"></div> <div class="col-xs-10"> <div class="field field-name-field-short-form-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>I am a 3rd Year BSc MSc Food Science student at University of Leeds. 2 years of studying shifted my interests towards food toxicology, biochemistry and sensory and consumer science part of Food Science.

Also, I have organised and led cooking classes to help students learn some quick and healthy recipes. Hence, I am passionate about changing the way we approach food, science and nutrition by spreading the message of how impactful they are to our lifestyle. I would describe myself as a very active person, who is always willing to contribute, help and support. My hobbies are dancing, hiking, cooking, however, more than that I love having conversations with people.
