“I work at an animal hospital in Tokyo as a nutritional consultant for dogs and cats and I make an original homemade diet recipe specially made for an animal’s health condition. My CCNH studies are enhancing my career because owners can’t make the recipes without the health infomation for people.” —Nagisa Nara
