Initially, Cryan put herself through law school, earning a Juris Doctor (J.D) from Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center in NYC. While taking on both law school and several part-time jobs, she turned to her diet to provide her with the energy to tackle her busy schedule. Her friends and classmates took notice, and she began preparing meals for them through a careful selection of nutrient-dense foods.
After a brief stint practicing law, Cryan returned to Buffalo to start Foodnerd, a company dedicated to creating positively processed food with a purpose. Under her leadership, the company recently launched its first superfood product, OverNights - the first raw & sprouted overnight breakfast product available to consumers. Foodnerd is working alongside researchers and food scientists to understand and develop processes and foods that pack nutrients into tasty, convenient snacks and meals.
