FSHN Council Board Members 2022-2023
President Athena Apalis
Aloha, my name is Athena Apalis and I am a senior majoring in dietetics and minoring in psychology. I plan to graduate in Spring 2023 and hope to become a Registered Dietitian in the future. My goal this year is to create a fun and welcoming environment that provides valuable experiences, resources, and opportunities to develop skills that prepare members for their future careers. Some of my hobbies include cooking, hiking, and going to the beach, and one of my favorite foods is pad thai!
Vice President Michael “Mikey” Yanos
Hello! My name is Michael “Mikey” Yanos and I’m currently serving the Food Science and Human Nutrition Council as the Vice President. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Dietetics in 2020 and am currently an ISPP intern. After completing my Dietetic Internship and Masters in Nutrition through ISPP, I hope to find a full time job as a Registered Dietitian (preferably in a clinical or sports related setting). When I get old and tired, I will look to live my life peacefully as a farmer if my body permits. My hobbies include weight lifting, various outdoor activities like hiking and running, computer gaming, and collecting Pokemon Cards and Funko Pops. Lastly, my favorite food is carne asada quesadillas with guacamole and sour cream on the side (and bubble tea for dessert).
