Background
I am an experienced Registered Dietitian specializing in and gastrointestinal disorders. I started off in a general in patient hospital setting before moving on to an outpatient clinic specializing in inflammatory bowel disease where I managed nutrition therapy for patients. I have contributed to research in this field, coordinated diet studies and co-authored a review article on diet as adjunctive treatment for IBD.
With a Master's degree in Dietetics and Nutrition from Florida International University, I bring a strong scientific background to my work. I am certified by Monash University for the Low FODMAP diet.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in medical nutrition therapy, patient education, and interdisciplinary collaboration in healthcare settings. I am fluent in English and Spanish, which enhances my ability to serve diverse patient populations.
