Tasha and Glenn share their experience working with weight class sports during their Gatorade SNIP fellowship.  Glenn is a Performance Dietitian and former SNIP fellow at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas.  Before working at the Performance Institute Glenn worked 2 years as a clinical dietitian alongside his own private practice as a performance dietitian for both weight class based sports and collegiate football. He has extensive background in weight class based sports as a former NCAA collegiate wrestler for Saint John's University (MN). Glenn also has a background in eating disorders having worked in a residential eating disorder treatment center. Tasha is from Fitchburg, Massachusetts and completed her bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Science with a minor in Public Health at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell where she worked closely with ROTC cadets to support their nutrition and body composition goals in addition to being a research assistant. Tasha then completed her Masters of Clinical Nutrition and dietetic internship at Rutgers University, where she was also a sports nutrition intern. Tasha recently completed a Gatorade SNIP fellowship at the University of Michigan where she primarily worked with wrestling to gain further experience in weight class sports. She will soon begin a position at Rutgers University where she will continue to work with wrestling, with goals of specializing in weight-class sports and eating disorders/disordered eating.
