Background
I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics and Food Administration – Nutrition and Dietetics with a minor in Food Science from California State University, Long Beach. I completed my internship at Patton State Hospital which provided me with a unique opportunity working with psychiatric patients. I have worked as a Registered Dietitian at a level two trauma hospital that has a burn unit as well as a stroke neurology unit. This has given me the chance to work with many different medical conditions as well as tube feeding and parenteral nutrition. Additionally, I have worked with behavioral health, individuals with eating disorders, and the geriatric population.
I chose this career path because I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. I absolutely love being a Registered Dietitian and that I am able to share my knowledge with individuals to help guide them to their nutritional goals. It brings me pure delight and joy to do something that I am passionate about and truly love. I can’t wait to meet you and help you along your health journey!
