How did you get into nutrition? 

What do you enjoy doing when you aren’t working?

How would you describe your counseling style? 

I became interested in nutrition after I had mononucleosis in college and my body broke out in hives for a full year. I admittedly wasn't taking the best care of myself at the time – I was a sophomore in college after all! Eventually, I met with a registered dietitian at the recommendation of my doctor. The RD I worked with was incredibly nurturing and compassionate, helping me understand how significantly diet and lifestyle can impact overall health. Finding a provider who really listened to me and tailored a plan to my needs convinced me that I wanted to do the same for others.

I love going to the farmer's market on Saturday mornings, hiking a local path with my family, reading thrillers, and enjoying a great takeout meal on the porch with my husband and a bottle of wine.
