Background
I am a registered dietitian (RD) with a thirty year dedication to supporting children and families in their path toward better health. In addition to my undergraduate degree in nutrition, I have a Masters in Public Health with an emphasis in Maternal and Child Nutrition from UCLA. Recognizing the pivotal role of the parent-child relationship in fostering positive change has been the foundation of my work. My experience spans clinical, outpatient, public health, and private consulting settings. I join families to provide individualized nutrition counseling for children of all ages. My work with multidisciplinary teams at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) through the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and related Differences program (LEND) and as a California Children's Services (CCS) paneled dietitian deepened my experience in managing complex pediatric nutrition needs. Whether working one on one with children or collaborating with families, my goal is to empower individuals to make informed choices that support lifelong well-being.

Approach
"As a pediatric dietitian, I have a practical approach that focuses on assessment and developing strategies to help meet recommended nutrient needs, taking developmental stage and individual differences into account. I understand that feeding is a complex process that requires trust, thoughtful inquiry, and problem solving with the child, their family, caregivers, teachers, and other healthcare professionals when needed."
