Jennifer is a health-promoting, patient-centered, evidenced-based-science practicing Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who is passionate about helping her patients build positive relationships with food.
Jennifer got her start in the food and nutrition industry as a personal chef. She quickly realized that most of her clients had medical diagnoses that could be better managed with specific dietary patterns. This led Jennifer to return to university in pursuit of a career change to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. After completing her degree and her dietetic internship she knew she wanted to work with patients in an outpatient setting and started her career as a Pediatric Registered Dietitian Nutritionist at a "top 5" children's hospital in Florida. Jennifer worked with kiddos with a myriad of disorders and diseases including gastrointestinal disorders, eating disorders and disordered eating patterns, ARFID, tube-feed dependency, failure-to-thrive, obesity, wound healing, food allergies, auto-immune diseases, genetic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, POTS, pre-diabetes, and general nutrition counseling.
While working with pediatric patients, Jennifer also realized that she had a passion for helping adults and almost always had a parent asking for nutrition advice during appointments. Jennifer decided to broaden her scope of practice and see both pediatric and adult patients as she saw there was a great need in her community for a dietitian that specialized in both pediatric and adult medical nutrition therapy. Two words that most describe Jennifer during appointments with her patients are: empathy and kindness. Jennifer always meets her patients where they are in their health journey and loves motivating her patients to achieve small but mighty goals for positive long-term health outcomes.
