Background

From growing up on a farm to over 20 years as a Registered Dietitian in hospitals, long-term care, and home health, I’ve learned the value of real food, hard work, and compassionate care. Through my experience, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can be to face a new diagnosis, painful procedures, or complex treatments. That’s why I believe lasting nutrition change goes far beyond the walls of a healthcare facility.

My approach is practical, personal, and built around your unique goals. I’ll work closely with you: 

 listening, collaborating, and crafting a plan that fits your life. I’ll be by your side with monitoring, progress checks, and adjustments to help keep you on track.

When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, gardening, cooking, doing home improvement projects, and spending time with family.

I’m driven to use everything I’ve learned in clinical nutrition to help you feel your best—because your wellness is my purpose. Let’s start this journey together.
