Background
I am an enthusiastic dietitian who loves to work with people to make life long changes in their health through food and nutrition! I fell in love with nutrition from my first class at the University of Texas at Austin.
For the first eight years of my career, I worked in Food Service management in a nursing home in Austin, a community health hospital in Boston and then back home to Houston where she worked to open a new hospital in West Houston and then on to MD Anderson Cancer Center. When an opportunity arose to work directly with patients again, I jumped at the chance. After two years of work with diabetic patients in an outpatient setting, I became a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I have focused my work on helping people manage their diabetes and weight since then. I have been able to combine my love of cooking and meal planning with the concepts of Intuitive Eating and Health at Any Size. In my time away from work, I enjoy spending time with family including my cats-who may join for a video appointment, reading and cooking.
