About

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with over 9 years of experience supporting clients reach their health and wellness goals. I received a dual Bachelor of Science degree from Purdue University in Dietetics and Nutrition, Fitness, and Health, and completed my dietetic internship at Edwards Hines, Jr. VA Hospital. I also received my credential as a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) from 2018-2023. I’ve worked with a diverse background of clients, and my specialties include weight management (loss, gain, or maintenance), overall wellness/disease prevention, women’s health, prenatal/postpartum support (including lactation), and picky eating for children under 5. While not directly related to my area of nutrition expertise, I love hiking and have hiked the Grand Canyon twice. I also have 2 young kids of my own, so I have a lot of personal experience feeding little ones… everything from breastfeeding to feeding toddlers/preschoolers!

My coaching style

I am passionate about empowering people to live their healthiest life by simplifying nutrition and focusing on small, yet impactful changes! Health looks different for each person, and during our time together, you can expect a judgment-free atmosphere where you are heard and your goals are prioritized. I’ll listen to understand your lifestyle and preferences and then we’ll start right where you are. We’ll collaborate on a plan that will help you meet your goals in a way that fits YOUR life, while still leaving room for the fun and enjoyment of food!
