I earned my Bachelor of Science from California State University, Long Beach, and I’m now in my seventh year as a credentialed dietitian. I built my foundation during my first year at a hospital in East Los Angeles before challenging myself in long-term care, working in multiple dialysis clinics across Southern California and Las Vegas. My goal was to test how effective my education was for patients I saw regularly compared to those in a hospital setting, where they were in and out within days.
I quickly learned that facts, information, and technical know-how don’t automatically translate into progress. The most successful patient transitions came from those with whom I built a genuine, friendly connection—finding common ground through the nuances of our conversations.
In our initial sessions, you can expect me to gather information about your health history, reasons for seeking a dietitian, and any other relevant details to best support you. My goal is to engineer a personalized approach to troubleshoot your frustrations and help you reach your goals—but please remember, nutritional progress rarely happens overnight! A sustainable, healthy future is about embracing the journey, not just chasing the results.
In follow-up sessions, we’ll discuss your progress, feelings, strengths, barriers, successes, and setbacks. We’ll continue adjusting your plan to keep you on track toward your goals and true nutritional freedom.
To help spark some conversation, I’m passionate about sports (pretty much all of them), Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, golf, and personal fitness. I also have a deep interest in self-development, Stoic philosophy, and living by core values. Regardless if you have any common ground with me, I am a great listener and excited to learn about you as an individual with a different walk in life. I hope we can sneak in some friendly banter while working toward your success!
