Background
Clients can expect to be empowered with knowledge and have a practitioner who takes the time to listen and truly cares about your health. As a dietitian I focus on cardiovascular health, kidney disease, weight management, pre-diabetes and type II diabetes mellitus, and oncology. I am a registered dietitian in licensed in the state of Missouri with a Master of Science degree in Dietetics and Nutrition and a Dietetics and Integrative Medicine graduate certificate from the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Why I decided to become a dietitian: After realizing accounting wasn't for me, I did some soul searching into what I spend most of my time thinking about and what I'm drawn to. For me, it was nutrition... and stand-up comedy :). While I still plan to pursue stand-up, once I made it to my core courses in undergrad I realized I'd made the right decision. I have spent countless hours reading research for anything nutrition related as it fascinates me.
A little about myself: enjoy time with family and friends, traveling (mostly in the near Mountainous regions), exercising, and vegging out binging a good series or Movie.

Approach
"I provide a client-centered approach meeting you where you are at through the lens of integrative and functional medicine. I will help guide you to setting time-based actionable goals and objectives to help you improve your health and well-being. I listen to what you are wanting rather than providing a cookie cutter approach to improving your health. Everyone is different, and that is why our time working together is one of our best resources so that we can fine tune and adjust when needed."
