Bio
Hi! My name is Sophia Delgado, and I am a junior in the food science program. I am from Minnetonka, MN (a Twin Cities suburb). My favorite food is sushi!
I am involved in the food science program as I am currently the vice president of the food science club, an ambassador, and I work in Dr. Girard’s lab. This past summer I had a food safety, quality, and regulatory internship with Cargill working on high fructose corn syrup and corn products. I had the opportunity to study abroad in Ireland last spring too. I have enjoyed being a part of the program so far. Since it is small I have enjoyed getting to know the other students and learning from them. All the faculty are excellent teachers and are always willing to help with questions you have. Being a food science major is also really fun! We get to make and try different foods like ice cream made three different ways or cheese made from various kinds of milk. I am very excited to continue to learn more in the next couple of years here!
