Clients can expect to be empowered with knowledge and have a practitioner who takes the time to listen and truly cares about your health. As a dietitian I focus on cardiovascular health, kidney disease, weight management, pre-diabetes and type II diabetes mellitus, and oncology. I am a registered dietitian in licensed in the state of Missouri with a Master of Science degree in Dietetics and Nutrition and a Dietetics and Integrative Medicine graduate certificate from the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Why I decided to become a dietitian: After realizing accounting wasn't for me, I did some soul searching into what I spend most of my time thinking about and what I'm drawn to. For me, it was nutrition... and stand-up comedy :). While I still plan to pursue stand-up, once I made it to my core courses in undergrad I realized I'd made the right decision. I have spent countless hours reading research for anything nutrition related as it fascinates me.
A little about myself: enjoy time with family and friends, traveling (mostly in the near Mountainous regions), exercising, and vegging out binging a good series or Movie.
