This past weekend I had the amazing opportunity of attending SCAN's annual symposium in Baltimore, Maryland. For starters I want to say that although I am a Pittsburgh fan, Baltimore was a great city.
My responsibilities entailed being in charge of the silent auction. One of the many amazing opportunities that SCAN offers at it's venue was the funds from the silent auction going towards the graduate research program. I though this was a great way to motivate people to bid on popular books, diets and such from renowned sports dietitians from all over.
On top of all this I got the chance to network with some of the most inspirational people. My favorite part of the weekend was hearing Leslie Bonci speak about recovery foods and preventing inflammation and anti-inflammatory foods. Leslie is such an inspiration juggling all of the teams that she does. She was charismatic, intelligent and super outgoing. When I approached her after her lecture and introduced myself she had remembered me and doing the interview for my blog. I was in awe.
Overall the weekend was a success I got the chance to meet some of the most wonderful people that have further inspired me. I hope to one day be where they are.
