I have accumulated a diverse and extensive professional background through various experiences. As a U.S. Army Veteran, I have gained invaluable skills and discipline that have shaped my approach to my subsequent career. In the realm of nutrition, I have worked in a range of settings including academic, community, and clinical environments, all of which have enriched my expertise as a registered dietitian.
Within the scope of clinical nutrition, my focus is on facilitating sustainable weight loss through a variety of diet frameworks and methodologies. I am also well-versed in promoting intuitive eating, addressing sports nutrition needs, as well as effectively managing diabetes, cardiovascular health, and providing functional nutrition guidance.
In addition to my core credentials, I have also obtained specialized accreditations including Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (recert), which further enhance my ability to cater to the specific nutritional needs of athletes. Furthermore, I am also a certified Lifestyle Eating and Performance (LEAP) therapist, specializing in dealing with food sensitivities, and a qualified facilitator of Mindful Eating practices.
I have a diverse range of hobbies, from weightlifting and contemporary jazz to ballroom dancing and beekeeping!
