In this episode of “Ear on Careers,” we are pleased to welcome Kimberly Manis, a Senior Supervisory Analyst with a financial services firm in New York City.
Kim graduated from the University of New Orleans in Louisiana with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, and a minor in Biology.

Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.
Kim soon found herself working on Wall Street first as an Editor, and then as a Supervisory Analyst in an Equity Research Department. In her current position, she is a Senior Supervisory Analyst. Kim is responsible for producing and editing reports, prepared by Research Analysts, concerning individual companies and broad-based sectors. In addition to making sure that the reports are clear to investors, she also reviews financial models and ensures compliance with all of the legal and regulatory rules governing the financial services industry. The two licensing routes to becoming a Supervisory Analyst are (1) the Series 16, OR (2) Series 7, 24, 63 and 87 (Kim has these licenses).

In this podcast, Mike Rivera, co-founder, college counselor and tutor with Top-Tier Tutoring, interviews Nutritionist Karen Lee and gets great tips and advice for learning how to eat properly while in college. She also offers strategies to lose that infamous “Freshman 15.”
Karen Lee, Nutritionist
During the podcast, Lee discusses the challenges students face with regard to nutrition and diet while in college, which usually is the first time they are totally in charge of their meals. With the freedom of college, many students may face a run-down immune system and drinking/eating late at night. Lee recommends always eating the most important meal of the day: breakfast! She also suggests entering into regular exercise, which can be a social activity such as a pick-up basketball game or salsa dancing.
Listen as Lee identifies foods to be avoided because they actually increase stress, such as sugar and caffeine. She also gives great tips to incorporate into your diet in order to lose the Freshman 15. The podcast is peppered with great pearls of wisdom such as “if it comes in a bag or box, eat 1, but if it comes from a plant or tree, eat as much as you want.” This podcast is a must for anyone who wants to lose the Freshman 15 or simply wants to learn more about nutrition and diet.
Lee is a graduate of Duke University, where she earned a B.A. in psychology. She recently obtained a certification from Cornell University in plant-based nutrition, and has been a nutritionist for over 17 years.
