In this role, LaMere will assist in developing and overseeing the nutritional needs for WVU’s Olympic sports student-athletes.

She serves as a food and nutrition resource for Mountaineer student-athletes, providing education and maintaining professional competency and skills required for practice.
Most recently, she worked at A4 Health in Twin Cities, Minnesota, as a nutrition resource manager where she worked with the Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks, Division I and elite high school athletes on their nutritional planning.

LaMere earned a bachelor’s degree with highest honors in dietetics and a master’s degree in nutrition & exercise science, both from North Dakota State. During her time there, she received the top dietetic student award and served as president of the student-led dietetic organization on campus.
The Minnesota native currently resides in Morgantown.
