About Andrea

Hi, My name is Andrea, and I am currently working in Diabetes and Surgical Weight Loss. I have experience with GLP-1s, medications, and behavior change. My first job out of college was with a non-profit health organization, where I worked with my community to provide Culinary Medicine education through cooking classes and public speaking events. After completing my Dietetic Internship in New Orleans, I gained experience in various markets including food service management, skilled nursing, and enteral feeding. As a dietitian specializing in both Surgical Weight Loss and Diabetes, I am passionate about guiding my patients to improve their quality of life, ensuring that diet and lifestyle changes do not feel like a burden. I strive to help my patients discover how they can implement changes without completely disrupting their lives. With my experience of living in several different places and studying abroad, I keep in mind a global view of nutrition vs. a singular view on nutrition.

Approach to care

I prioritize a listening approach to thoroughly understand my patients, enabling me to effectively educate them on establishing individualized goals. I am results-oriented and find it valuable to review biometric data to empower patients in comprehending their health objectives.

Your first session with Andrea

In our initial session, I like to gather information, assess knowledge and history of nutrition, and get to know the patient's health journey. From there, I address health concerns, analyze contributing factors, and determine a course of action with clear steps for goal attainment.

Education

Bachelor's of Nutrition and Food Science

Hobbies

I love to spend time outdoors or cook in my free time.
