About Summer
Iām a proud graduate of Winthrop University and completed my dietetic internship. As a registered dietitian, I bring a unique combination of leadership, compassion, and real-world experience that sets me apart. I've served as a lead dietitian for two years in a skilled nursing facility, overseeing clinical nutrition services while supporting both patients and interdisciplinary teams. Prior to that, I worked in a variety of settings including WIC and acute care, giving me a well-rounded understanding of nutrition across all stages of life. Originally from Texas, Iāve moved often due to my fatherās career, which taught me how to adapt quickly and connect easily with people from all walks of life. I now live in South Carolina with my husband and our two cats. When Iām not working, youāll find me practicing yoga, going on long walks, traveling, or exploring new restaurantsāespecially if thereās dessert involved!
Approach to care
What sets me apart is my ability to connect. I believe nutrition should feel approachable, not overwhelming. Clients choose to work with me because I meet them where they areācreating realistic, sustainable goals rooted in empathy, evidence-based care, and their unique lifestyle. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, navigating a new diagnosis, or simply trying to feel your best, Iāll walk alongside you with support and strategy every step of the way. I look forward to being a trusted partner on your health journeyāand celebrating your progress every step of the way.
Your first session with Summer
For our first session be prepared for a time to invest in you. We will work together to truly create a health journey that works for your individual wellbeing. First session can feel intimating but know the hardest step is the first. I will educate you to not only help promote your goals but to set lifestyle skills youāll carry with you day to day. Letās get to it!
