As a young adult, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Once I discovered changing my diet was the only therapy to manage this disease and all of my symptoms, my whole life changed. I went from feeling sluggish and bloated everyday to feeling energized and good about how my body felt. I then decided to pursue my registered dietitian licensure to help others reach their goals and reach their potential to be able to live life to the fullest.
One of my other passions is sports nutrition! As an adult endurance athlete I've found that continuing to strive towards performance goals has quickly become a driving force motivating me to continue to be active. I love to help other athletes reach their goals as well through optimizing their nutrition!
I am a Registered Dietitian who received her Masters degree from Drexel University in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. My post grad work was done through the University of Houston. I have worked in many areas of nutrition including in-patient in the hospitals, outpatient nutrition counseling, pediatric medical day care and long-term care.
I have 10+ years of personal and professional experience. Starting out in the clinical and long-term care settings, I was able to expand my knowledge base to provide medical and science-based nutrition counseling for her patients and clients. My clients include the following:
Performance Nutrition for Amateur and Professional Athletes

I enjoy the diversity that exists amongst my clients; and the ability to work with clients to enhance their everyday lives. My motivation to continue learning about the most recent nutrition-related research is to provide clients with the best care possible.
