As a patient, you can expect to feel supported, listened to, educated, and empowered when we work together. I will always be honest with you, while also being compassionate. I believe every person deserves care without judgement and there is nothing you could ever share with me as your provider that would cause me to do so. As a patient, you can ask me as many questions as you want and feel free to offer feedback if something is not helpful - this is about you, so never worry about letting me down or hurting my feelings. I will support you as long as you need, though over time, my goal is that you don't need me forever. I believe the very best dietitians give patients the tools to succeed long-term with confidence.
I have over 4 years of professional experience having seen over 11,000 patients of all ages, genders, socio-economic classes, cultures and health issues. I have both a Bachelors of Science degree in Nutrition and a Masters of Science degree in Public Health, enabling me to interpret and apply current nutrition science and data for the betterment of my patients.
Fun Facts About Me: I love to travel and have lived on 3 different continents. I have a very multicultural family and can cook many foods such as Persian, Jamaican, Indonesian, Italian, and Indian dishes and love teaching patients new recipes. Lastly, empowering people brings me the greatest joy in life - anyone can do anything with the right support!
"I have never had anyone actually explain to me what it means to control my blood sugar. You have been my guardian angel." - Just one of the many comments I've gotten in my years as an RD. This is what drives me. You deserve to feel good and live life on your terms. Im here to help you do that. I can't wait to work with you.
