My background is in nutrition and public health. Over many years, I have worked in diverse arenas in the nutrition field, and I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I spent many years as a faculty member at the University of Nevad, Reno School of Medicine where I had to opportunity to teach, do research, and provide clinical services. Most recently, I have been working with very young children with special needs and their families. However, I also have a background in geriatrics and I enjoy working with all the ages in between as well!
I believe that we are each the experts of our own health. I enjoy helping my clients work toward improving their diets for better physical and mental health.
I have been a vegetarian for over 45 years as I am interested in the effect our dietary choices have on the environment and on our food supply. However, I respect different dietary choices that reflect individual values and customs.
I have been a horsewoman for most of my life, and I have a horse named Indie that I've had since he was born. I enjoy gardening and being outdoors as much as possible. I live in a rural area in northern Nevada.
I like to start by learning a little about you. Why did you seek out help from a dietitian? What questions do you have? What are your goals for your health and diet? I believe that it's possible to work together to design an eating plan that fits your lifestyle and budget, that supports your health, and that you love.
