Ann-Marie Berdar

Co-Founder, BARE  Blends

Ann-Marie  Berdar, the co-founder of  BARE Blends,  is not your typical entrepreneur. After earning a degree in Cell Molecular  Biology and Chemistry she quickly realized that a career in a lab or clinical setting wasn’t her calling, despite having completed an internship at the Albert Einstein Institute and pursuing a Master of Nutrition with a focus on Biochemistry and  Public  Health.  So,  she decided to pivot and become a direct link between science-based nutrition theory and the consumer by creating products that facilitate healthy habits.
