Hi all, I’m Jessica! My nutrition career started at a young age, with family members with a lot of complex medical concerns, growing food in a garden, and a love for food and learning about cultures and international cuisine. I think it can be said that no one ever thought I would become a registered dietitian, but now I couldn’t imagine any other path. My education started in New Jersey where I completed my masters degree in Nutrition and Food Science and has continued with a dietetic internship and started my career working in eating disorder treatment and food service in Boston, MA.
Throughout my personal and professional life, I have immersed myself in learning about sociology, psychology, nutrition, anatomy & physiology, biochemistry, and the complex web that food plays in our life. Having worked in eating disorder treatment and having close personal connections to individuals who have explored their relationship with their body and food, I am very dedicated to learning about each person and providing individualized treatment. There are so many factors that impact our choice of food, how it impacts us, and what its role is in our life. Having been vegan for roughly 8 years and dealing with my own GERD and gut/thyroid health, I am very knowledgable in providing care and guidance through this journey. I pride myself on my ability to help individuals work through that complex relationship, assess medical and nutritional complications and needs, and find the best lifestyle and nutrition to suit their wants and needs.
I am knowledgable in all aspects of nutrition, and passionate about providing accessible care to any and everyone, without limiting or changing the foods we love. I have several areas of specialization, but am able to provide care and general nutrition guidance, as well. I invite all individuals to reach out if you are interested in working together. Let’s work together to make food and nourishment a safe, positive, and inclusive space for all!
