Professor Andrea Altice<br />

I completed my B.S. in food and nutrition at<br />

my M.S. in Health Science at University of<br />

North Florida in 1989.<br />

After I graduated from the University of North<br />

Florida, I was hired as a clinical dietitian at<br />

Methodist Hospital which is now a part of<br />

Shands Jacksonville. During my time at<br />

Methodist Hospital, I found that I liked<br />

Methodist Hospital, I accepted a renal dietitian<br />

position at St. Augustine Artificial Kidney<br />

Center. In 2005, I started my role as an adjunct<br />

instructor at UNF teaching Basic Principles of<br />

<strong>Nutri</strong>tion, the Food Fundamentals and Food<br />

Science Labs. In 2014, I took on the role of the<br />

Food Lab Coordinator and instructor of the<br />

food labs and absolutely love it!
