Dear Dr. Sealy-Potts,

Hello, my name is Laura Hosch and I am currently a senior in the Nutrition and Dietetics program at the
University of North Florida. As the end of my undergraduate program approaches and I look towards my
future, I hope to attain an internship with University of North Florida’s combined Master of Science and
Dietetic Internship Program following my graduation. I would find it incredibly rewarding to continue a
higher level of education with a program that is as renowned as the MS/DI program here at the University
of North Florida.
I am not a traditional student. I am a mother of two that decided after years in the fitness industry I
wanted to further my education in nutrition. Nutrition has always been my passion and as I re-entered the
undergraduate program at the age of 34, I was fully committed to not only learning as much as I could but
being able to apply it as well. While it has been challenging balancing family, two jobs, and school,
excelling in the Nutrition and Dietetics program at the University of North Florida has been one of my
greatest accomplishments. Since starting at UNF, I have been on the Dean’s List for three semesters and
the Principal’s List for two semesters and maintaining an average GPA of 3.9. I am also the tutor for
Advanced Nutrition Science and Metabolism, the secretary of the Nutrition and Dietetics Leadership
Association, and a mentor in the Student Nutrition and Dietetics Association’s Apples to Apples Program.
Prior to the pandemic, I also volunteered with Meals on Wings and was volunteering at St. Vincent’s
Bariatric Clinic. I have a passion for helping others and enjoy being able to assist them meeting their
goals, whether academic or elsewise. During my time at UNF, I have sharpened my leadership skills,
improved my organization and time management, discovered effective ways to teach myself and others,
and developed skills at graphic design. Ideally in the future, I hope to gain my licensure as a registered
dietitian and work in a bariatric setting.
I believe continuing my education with the UNF’s Master of Science and Dietetic Internship is the
best way to achieve my goals and that my drive and dedication would be an asset to your program. I thank
you in advanced for your time and consideration and look forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully,

Laura Hosch
