After teaching human nutrition courses at COCC as a part-time instructor for 13 years, Julie Hood closed her private practice as a nutritionist and started teaching full time five years ago. She now also teaches courses in human anatomy and physiology and culinary nutrition.
“While I love all my classes, I do have to say that it's especially fun to teach nutrition because I love helping people understand the value of science and research. There are so many myths in the field of nutrition! It's great to be a myth-busting scientist!
“The best aspect of teaching is watching students collaborate on a project and seeing their satisfaction when that process has gone well. I think students have a lot to offer each other, and while they're together here at school, I hope to help them teach each other!”
