Background
I received my bachelor's degree in Food and Nutrition at the University of Alabama. My first year out of college, I led nutrition services at a skilled nursing facility. I then joined St. Vincent's as an acute care clinical dietitian. The majority of my clinical nutrition experience involves patients with cardiovascular disease who have required open heart surgery and are looking to develop diet and lifestyle changes to improve their heart health. In addition to this, I have experience providing medical nutrition therapy to bariatric surgery patients, patients with altered gastrointestinal function, diabetes, kidney disease, and more. There is nothing I love more than helping my patients reach their goals and understand the ways in which different foods affect their body!
