Neda is an Accredited Sports Dietitian with a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science and Master of Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Sydney.

During this time she also worked in professional sport with the Manly Sea Eagles NRL team, A-League, Cricket Australia while being the lead dietitian for a range of representative sporting clubs.
