About Talia Daneshrad

I’m a health tech and wellness innovation enthusiast currently earning my Master’s in Food Studies at NYU, where I focus on the intersection of nutrition, mental well-being, and consumer behavior.My work lives at the crossroads of food is medicine, nutritional psychology, wellness branding, and food storytelling, with the goal of helping people understand how their food choices impact how they feel. I explore how science-backed food choices can improve energy, focus, and mood, and I’m building Quinn, a platform that makes that helps people feel good through food by eating better easier. With experience in startup strategy, content creation, and food marketing, I’m driven to help brands turn science into storytelling, especially in the functional food, wellness, and consumer health space.I’m especially interested in:• Health tech and food innovation• Functional CPG brand strategy• Nutrition and mental health research• Storytelling for behavior change• Food and brand marketingI’m hoping to join a mission-driven company in the food, wellness, or health tech space—whether that’s a CPG brand, food media platform, or broader food industry leader. My goal is to learn how strong brands are built, from strategy to operations. I’m especially interested in brand positioning, campaign development, trend forecasting, and marketing strategy, along with gaining hands-on experience in A/B testing, sales, and brand growth.Let’s change the way we talk about food.
