Over the years I have specialized in:  Nutrition and diabetes management  Cardiovascular health, including hypertension and cholesterol management  Gastrointestinal disorders, from irritable bowel disease to inflammatory bowel disease, GI surgeries and more.  Oncology nutrition, supporting clients through cancer treatment, recovery, and survivorship  Weight management  High‑risk pregnancy including gestational diabetes  Nutrition and HIV/AIDS  Maternal‑child nutrition  Pediatrics  Nutrition and Kidney disease management  Enteral nutrition

Approach to care

Above all, I’m driven by a deep love of helping people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. Seeing a client’s confidence grow as they master new habits, feeling good and better about their health, that’s what fuels me every day. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to a healthier you!

Hobbies

I’m passionate about culture and connection, —whether that is through travel, music, food, or film. I love dancing and I am a total foodie who delights in exploring dishes from around the world. On quiet evenings, you will often find me curled up watching my all‑time favorite musical, The Sound of Music, singing along to every song. I will not pass by an opportunity to sing with fellow sound of music lovers!
