Shahad KhanAlhendi
I earned my B.S. in Nutritional Sciences from Morgan State University in 2023. During my academic journey, I served as a nutrition educator for elementary school children and as a student leader for international students.
Before my studies, I gained experience in marketing, sales, and management.
After graduation, I worked as a nutritionist with the USDA Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), which deepened my interest in prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric nutrition. I had the honor of creating four nutrition lesson plans for the upcoming fiscal year at Baltimore City WIC, leaving a lasting impact.
During my time at Stanford, I aim to engage with local communities, advocate for prevention, and contribute to interventions that improve health outcomes and quality of life for my community members.
I enjoy traveling, exploring cuisines, cooking, hiking, kickboxing, yoga, painting, and indoor gardening.
Fun Fact: My name, Shahad, translates to "pure honey" in Arabic.
