Keeping athletes fueled to win is the critical role being played by Mount Applied Human Nutrition graduate and part-time instructor Angela Dufour at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. Angela is in PyeongChang working as a Performance Dietitian with the Canadian Olympic Committee’s mission staff medical team. Her path to performance dietary work began at the Mount, where she completed both her undergraduate nutrition studies and Masters of Adult Education. Today, Angela is the owner of Nutrition in Action Private Counselling Service and the Lead Performance Dietitian at Canadian Sport Centre Atlantic. 

As the PyeongChang games come to a close, Angela filled us in on her work supporting Olympians, what led her to this opportunity and what she will take away from her experience.
