• Joyce Nakashima, a registered dietitian nutritionist who is currently working as a dietitian consultant at multiple nursing homes in the area of Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, and San Gabriel Valley. She is responsible for the nutritional care of residents and also ensuring that the nursing homes follow correct kitchen sanitation procedures. She also works as an afterschool instructor teaching cooking classes to elementary school children.
Nakashima grew up in West Los Angeles and graduated from CSU Long Beach (undergraduate) and CSU Northridge (graduate) with degrees in nutrition.
