I am a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist with 20 years of practice experience. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in dietetics from Florida State University and completed a Master of Science degree and professional practice internship in nutrition at Colorado State University.
Nutrition is a broad field. I feel strongly that the foundation to your success in achieving health and nutrition goals is pairing with a dietitian who specializes in the practice area where you seek a partnership. I work primarily with clients in weight management, metabolic and bariatric surgery and kidney disease.
My first passion in the field of nutrition is weight management. I completed advanced training in weight management earning a Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management from the Commission on Dietetic Registration. I previously coordinated a medical and surgical weight management program at a large hospital in the Southeast where I conducted both individual and group counseling sessions. I also facilitated support groups for clients in our bariatric surgery program.
I expanded my horizon in nutrition by stepping into kidney disease several years ago. I have been a Board Certified Specialist in Renal Nutrition since 2019. I have practice experience in dialysis; however, my passion is in empowering clients to identify kidney disease early and to take charge of their health through nutrition and self care to delay the progression of kidney disease.
