Food has always been at the center of my journey. I began in Culinary Arts in 2002, drawn to the creativity and connection food brings, and by 2007 expanded that passion into nutrition, focusing on how what we eat shapes our health and well-being. When people are faced with making life-changing health choices, they need an ally who can clear up the confusion and encourage them toward change. Specializing in nutrition education and disease management, I have over 18 years of experience assessing needs and designing plans to teach others about the role of food and nutrients in the body and their effect on total wellness. I understand that no single approach is “perfect” for everyone, so using my skills in Culinary Arts, Nutrition Education, and Chronic Disease Management, I work to find solutions for individual nutrition and lifestyle goals. As a nutrition educator, I’ve seen how knowledge empowers people to move past confusion, make confident choices, and take meaningful steps toward better health. My patients will focus on the tools to transform their well-being and create lasting change. I can't wait to meet you!

As a classically trained chef with a background in Nutrition Education, Health Promotion, and Nutrition Marketing, I have a unique perspective on the role that food plays in our lives. With over 18 years of experience in menu planning, therapeutic diets, and recipe development, as well as over 15 years as a licensed dietitian/nutritionist and educator, I have honed my skills in areas such as diabetes education, weight management, food allergies, gut health, community & geriatric nutrition, and nutrition marketing and promotion. My passion for food and practical nutrition drives me to find innovative ways to use these tools to positively impact lives, and I am committed to engaging with customers and fostering their development and success.
