“As the Director of Nutrition at Rejuvenan, Malina has responsibility for nutritional science, of course, but also manages ALL content including articles, push notifications, and digital conversations, and appears in many of our 700 videos. I have watched her time after time produce exceptional work product with the most minimal instruction or guidance (never needed). Malina was a professional actor in her prior career and beautifully melds her talents into her nutritional work.”

“When hiring a Registered Dietitian to help teach our pediatric health curriculum within the Stamford, CT school district, Malina was a natural first-choice. She has since been a huge asset to our team and the kids she teaches thanks to her natural energy and enthusiasm and ability to relate well with both kids and adults. Malina’s ease and comfort with public speaking and her ability to connect with others in the audience are evident in her teaching. I highly recommend her!”
