More about Alicia

Professional experience

Internships & Freelancing
PPR Companies: I joined PPR companies that approached messaging with a psychological perspective, like engaging children in growing their own veggies.
I worked as a sports nutritionist at the Royal Selangor Club for Under 19 & Under 21 teams.
My primary role is to help athletes leverage food and muscle-building strategies to enhance their training, even during Ramadan.
By tracking metrics like weight and field time, I ensure each athlete is reaching their full potential.
I continued working part-time with the teams after completing my initial role, learning from nutritionists who have worked with top athletes like Lee Chong Wei.
I also provided nutrition support for the velodrome cycling and judo teams, gaining diverse experience in sports nutrition.
I worked in a hospital setting as a Clinical Nutritionist which focused on promoting health causes and screenings.
My career is Nestle focused on the roles supporting Milo and RTD as a category nutritionist.
I set nutritional targets for products ensuring they met the health requirements in their ingredient formulations
It was a corporate working environment and worked with NHW, Marketing, and Sales teams.
Wave Clinic, Nutritionist
I have recently joined a rehabilitation program for youths with eating disorders.
My focus will be on improving their relationship with food and providing psychological assistance for mental health struggles.
The key objective of my role is to evaluate clients' nutritional needs, eating habits, and medical history to create tailored nutrition plans.
I design balanced, flexible meal plans that address both physical and psychological needs, ensuring adequate nutrient intake.
I educate clients about nutrition, body image, and the role of food in health, while addressing misconceptions and fears.
I track clients' progress through regular follow-ups, adjusting meal plans and strategies as needed to promote healthy eating behaviors.
I work closely with psychologists, therapists, doctors, and other professionals to ensure comprehensive care.
I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, helping clients navigate challenges and develop a healthier relationship with food.
By using motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and other methods, we can support behavior change and recovery.
I can help identify and manage any nutrient deficiencies or medical complications related to disordered eating.
I’m happy to lead group discussions or workshops on nutrition education, body positivity, and self-care practices.

Education journey

I graduated from high school in 2017 and then ventured into A Levels But found it unsuitable due to the fully academic examination structure.
I enrolled in the Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) program, which offered a more diverse course structure focused on Nutrition and Wellness.
I noticed that KL students are more laid-back compared to my friends from Penang from my personal experience.
In 2020, I joined a Swiss non-profit organisation, Thoughts for Food, where I discovered my love for Nutrition.
I enrolled in UCSI University, majoring in Nutrition and Wellness, where my subjects are Biology, Chemistry, Life Extension, Business Law, and Marketing.
Prevention and reversal in nutrition are my focuses, which contrasts with the diagnostic approach in dietetics.

Misinformation on Social Media of Nutrition

My career allows me to work flexibly with either products, such as those in pharmacy and supplementation, or directly with people, focusing on different age groups, communities, and specific areas of need. This versatility enables me to address both individual and broad-spectrum nutritional needs.
I am passionate about using nutrition to positively impact lives, equipped with the resources necessary to enhance wellness.
As a Mandarin speaker, I am able to extend my reach and effectively communicate with a broader audience.
One of the significant challenges I face is combating misinformation spread by influencers on social media, it requires constant vigilance and a commitment to providing accurate, evidence-based nutritional advice.
For my nutrition consultations, I charge a standard fee of RM100 per hour, and I also offer flexible monthly fee models.
This structure allows clients to choose a payment plan that best fits their needs while receiving comprehensive nutritional guidance.
