Nadia Zhang

Washington State University

My name is Nadia! I am from Vancouver, BC, Canada. My passion for nutrition comes from my love of food and how it is embedded in different cultures. In practice, I hope to make sustainable changes with my patients that are also culturally appropriate. As a student representative, I want to link my fellow classmates with all the resources they need to succeed as future RD's and share the student perspective.

Lourdes (Lulu) Salazar-Rios

Bastyr University

My interest in joining the Washington State Academy Board as a student representative is driven by my passion for public advocacy. In this role, I would be honored to advocate for my peers and all students in policy development for the future of dietitians and the communities and patients we will represent. I would love the opportunity to represent the voices of the diverse group of students at Bastyr University and contribute towards exceeding access, equity, diversity, and inclusivity for Washington State.
