A Slice of Life:
Get to Know Dietitian Nicole Dynan
We profile your colleagues in nutrition, to gain
inspiration and share a peek inside their lives
Nicole, what five words
describe you best?
Connector, authentic, forward-
focused, generous and action-
oriented.
What’s been the highlight of your
career?
I’ve worked as a teacher, tour guide,
IT salesperson, senior manager in
pharmaceuticals, and even as a
waitress in London, serving Prince
Edward and Rowan Atkinson (Mr
Bean)! But the highlight was being
accepted in the USYD Master of
Nutrition & Dietetics course. I was
advised three days before the start
of term (I think I was the last person
accepted that year!), and that
changed the course of my life and
career. It took me six years of study
to retrain (while working part-time).
Today I feel like I am having a real
impact where it counts and changing
lives for the better.
