Student Leaders

2025 - 2026 Student Board Representatives:

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.

 

McKaylee Beaudin

Central Washington University

 

I'm McKaylee Beaudin, a student at Central Washington University. I'm a senior studying Food and Nutrition Science with a specialization in dietetics in hopes to become a pediatric dietitian. I run the Nutrition Science Club as the 2025-2026 President and love all things nutrition and wellness.

   

 

WSAND President

Welcome to the 2025-2026 membership year! This year we plan to work at the state and district levels to increase opportunities for member engagement and collaboration, culminating with an in-person conference in Vancouver. Follow us on social media and watch for your monthly e-blast to stay informed and involved. We are excited to work for you and look forward to connecting with WA State Academy members this year.
