Willa Jaffe liked that American’s nutrition program goes beyond the numbers.

WILLA JAFFE: The reason I went with AU is because they offered not just a clinical nutrition program, but more of a nutrition meets kind of psychology education program. Which was much more my style. I like talking to people and working with people, and I like science. But I'm more of the communication style of trying to help people, as opposed to totally based by the numbers. And I hadn't heard of that program anywhere else, and that fit exactly what I wanted to do with my future.
