I received my BS in Nutrition from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a MS in Nutrition from UIC. I completed my dietetic internship at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA. I have over 25 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian in clinical practice and in teaching.
I have spent over half of my career working with individuals with chronic disease to prolong their lifespan and help to improve quality of life. It has been a constant reminder of the reason I became a registered dietitian and has renewed my passion for prevention. As science continues to evolve in the understanding of metabolic health, I am excited to see a shift in healthcare towards the recognition of nutrition as a pillar of wellness with a focus on prevention through utilization of nutrition therapy by registered dietitians.
Food choices are very individual and personal and there are various methods that can lead to impactful results in health. I look forward to working together to empower positive change.
