About Evelyn


Bio

I am a strong believer of lifelong learning and teaching. In the past 12 years, I have had direct supervision over nutrition interns who graduated from different schools and varying degrees of education ranging from BS, MS to Ph.D.! I adapt my lecture and teaching style according to their learning styles and needs. I am also the departmental trainer on using EPIC Electronic Medical Records at work.

I am a strong believer of lifelong learning and teaching. In the past 12 years, I have had direct supervision over nutrition interns who graduated from different schools and varying degrees of education ranging from BS, MS to Ph.D.! I adapt my lecture and teaching style according to their learning styles and needs. I am also the departmental trainer on using EPIC Electronic Medical Records at work.

I am a (US) Registered Dietitian with 13+ years of experience working in various clinical settings. I graduated in the top 5% of my class with a 3.8 GPA from the University of California, Davis. I hold two professional certifications in nutrition. I am a broad certified specialist in oncology nutrition (CSO) and a certified nutrition support clinician (CNSC). I scored over 85% on all the nutrition broad exams. On my last CNSC exam, I completed the 250 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours and I scored 94%.

- Passionate in Medical Nutrition Therapy. I am particularly interested in the role of nutrition in cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship.
- Expert in Tube feeding, Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), and related acid-base electrolyte management.

Besides nutrition/medicine, I like teaching Cantonese. I am taking Espanol Spanish language on the side. Message me, and we can chat more.

Approved Subjects

Chinese

Chinese

Born and raised in Hong Kong. Cantonese is my mother tongue, Learned English at home and at school. Mandarin is actually my third language. Went to an English immersion school at age 11 and remember having to relearn all vocabulary and subjects. I understand the confusion and the pain when having to learn a new language. In my teens, I learned to speak Mandarin fluently by watching TV dramas, listening to pop songs, attending a Mandarin-speaking church, and reading the Bible in Chinese. I work in healthcare and being trilingual has been helpful in negotiating a raise and being more efficient with my day-to-day interactions with monolingual Chinese patients. I am not a traditional Chinese teacher, I will tailor the lessons to suit the students' needs.
Nutrition

Nutrition

I was a tutor at De Anza College on Nutrition 101 for nursing students. I hold a B.S. degree from UC Davis with High Honors. I have been a Clinical Registered Dietitian since 2010 and mentor hundreds of students to date. I am happy to help in medical nutrition therapies and test prep.
Physiology

Physiology

When I first took Physiology in 2009, I felt so confused that I got only a B-. Because I want to go back to school, I actually retook Physiology in 2019 (10 years later!) and I surely performed much better with an A. In fact, I also got A+ in my Honors anatomy class. My anatomy professor wrote me a letter of recommendation for grad school as well.
