Rhett D. · Legacy Testimonials S117
After completing my social work degree and working in the field for many years, I decided to reskill in the health and nutrition industry. An industry I have always shown a keen interest in. My goal is to potentially combine both qualifications. To educate and support those with special needs and young people to achieve healthy lifestyles.
