My formal training is rooted in a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Washington State University. I enjoyed the program so much I also went on to complete my Master's in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology there. I am a board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietitian and currently working to complete my Integrative and Functional Nutrition certification with the goal to finish in the next year. My nutrition approach is heavily married to the synergy of regular movement and a food first mentality.
I have spent 10 years as a dietitian working with clients across the spectrum largely in the outpatient and community setting. I have the unique experience of working with eating disorders which has largely influenced my lens on how I approach the relationship with food for all of my clients.
Most recently I have 5 years serving as an active duty dietitian for the US Air Force working with our C-130 pilots and Security Forces in Germany and Special Warfare Training candidates in Texas.
In my free time you will find me on a mountain somewhere with my snowboard or hiking boots, in downward dog, or in my natural habitat experimenting in the kitchen.
