Nina completed her Bachelor of Health Science at the University of South Australia. She later undertook her honours research at the University of South Australia and executed a 12-month prospective observational study called 'UniStArt' which investigated the body weight, dietary intake, and physical activity levels of first-year university students. She was later awarded a UniSA Vacation Research Scholarship to see through the research until its completion. Soon after, Nina began her PhD investigating the dietary and non-dietary factors that influence maternal omega-3 fatty acid levels during pregnancy and has since been involved in research in polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents.
