Background
Hello! My name is Melissa and I became a registered dietitian in 2021. Since a young age, I have always been interested in food and nutrition. And that interest turned into my passion for helping others make better food choices. I believe that nutrition should be individualized and that recommendations vary from person to person. Whether you are food shopping on a budget, cooking for one, or unsure how to eat to best fuel your body, understanding where you are at and meeting you in the middle is something I strive to do. I love to see my clients succeed and will be cheering you on as you reach your health goals!
I graduated with a bachelors in nutritional science and a minor in psychological science from Penn State. I later obtained my master of health science degree from Cedar Crest College. In my free time, I love to cook new recipes, spend time with my husband and family, be outside, go to the gym, and find local activities/events to do within my community. I also love to clean and find it very therapeutic, especially if I have a good podcast to listen to!
I look forward to working with you and being part of your health journey!
