About Ada
Food and culture have always shaped how I see health, and that curiosity led me to earn a B.S. in Nutrition Science from CSULA and practice as a Registered Dietitian. I bring clinical experience from hospitals, outpatient dialysis and community health, including geriatric care with tube feeding and TPN support, CKD /dialysis renal nutrition, and earlier work as a WIC nutritionist where I focused on maternal and infant nutrition, breastfeeding, and baby-led weaning. My CLE and RD training inform practical, evidence-based care. When I’m not working, I garden and I love traveling to explore new cuisines.
Approach to care
Evidence guides the plans we build together, and empathy guides how we get there. I practice with a weight-neutral Health at Every Size lens, focusing on sustainable habits and whole-person wellbeing rather than quick fixes. We’ll use clear, actionable steps rooted in current research, while honoring your preferences, culture, and life circumstances. Education is central to my work, so I’ll help you understand the why behind recommendations and support gradual, lasting change without judgment.
Your first session with Ada
Expect a relaxed, collaborative visit where we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you have. We'll talk through your routines, challenges, and priorities, then establish short-term goals that feel manageable. From that conversation we'll create a meal plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle, with clear next steps you can try at home. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, just bring your questions and we’ll take it one step at a time together.
