Background
I have been a practicing Registered Dietitian Nutritionist for more than 13 years. I received my degree in Nutritional Sciences from California State University, Los Angeles and I completed my dietetic internship at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I currently hold a Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management Level 1 and 2 from The Commission on Dietetic Registration. I have worked in private practice, at leading hospitals and in the community of southern California throughout my career. I also helped develop The Patient Centered Medical Home Weight Loss Curriculum for providers in the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services.
Cultivating health and wellness through food and nutrition is my passion. As someone with an auto-immune condition, I share knowledge from experience, using nutrition to improve health. Assisting others on their journey to create a thriving and abundant life brings me much fulfillment.
When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading, writing, working out, meal prepping with my mom and hanging out with friends.
