Hi, I’m Emilina Lomas! Meet The Author

Hi, thanks for visiting my Medium profile.

I wanted to introduce myself so you have some background on me as an author.

My name is Emilina Lomas, I’m originally from London but have lived in southern California for the past six years. I love being outside in the sun and having a healthy, active lifestyle — and southern California is the best place for that!

At University, I studied a Bachelor’s degree in anthropology, specializing in medical anthropology. This is pretty niche, so for anyone who doesn’t know what this is, it’s essentially the sociality of health and disease. I wrote my dissertation about health trends in the US, specifically the obesity epidemic and food deserts. I then did a Master’s degree in nutrition and public health. For my thesis, I undertook a research study into gut health and how it’s connected to disordered eating habits.

Since University, after a blib working in consulting at Deloitte, I became a health and fitness coach and writer.

It’s cliche to say, but it’s the truth: writing has always been my passion. But when it came to forging a career, becoming a writer wasn’t part of the equation.

It was only when I felt what it was like working in a job that I hated, did I take the steps toward what I enjoyed — writing and health.
