Background
Hello! My passion for nutrition began in grade school, where I personally experienced how your nutrition status directly affects how you feel and perform. Then, in the midst of completing my bachelors degree, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that is managed wholly on a specialized diet was my answer that I was on the right path in my education. I continued on this path to hold my bachelors degree, complete an internship, and continue on to completing a masters degree in dietetic administration. Now going on 14 years of personally managing my own Celiac Disease, I have developed a passion to help others who are also grappling with this condition. I know firsthand how difficult navigating a new diet (and essentially a new lifestyle!) is, and I am passionate in being a partner with you to overcome these difficulties and flourish!
When not working, I love being in nature through going on walks, and at each new month, I take joy in finding a new hike or path to walk. This has been such a fun way to discover new favorite places in my area! I am also passionate about running, and recently participated in my first full marathon, and have since been so excited to run more of them!

"My favorite motto is: "Come as you are, but don't expect to stay as you are." I compassionately meet clients as and where they are on their health journey, but challenge them to not stay where they are. We work on progress, no matter how big or small the steps are."
