Background
I am a licensed registered dietitian nutritionist with a M.S. degree in clinical nutrition from Rush University in Chicago, IL. I received my B.S. from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in molecular and cellular biology. I went on to become a teacher after obtaining my M.A. in science education w/ endorsements in biology, chemistry, and health. I have a passion for diabetes education, weight management, and whole food plant-based eating. I switched careers and entered the nutrition field after struggling with my own personal health journey in managing type 1 diabetes, gastroparesis, and multiple autoimmune conditions. I discovered the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes and how important our food choices can be in how we feel and function.

Approach
"Each individual has a unique physiology, personality, experience, and value system that contributes to their nutritional needs and potential obstacles in meeting their health goals. All these factors should be considered when creating an effective and realistic plan. I believe in creating an environment that will allow for the most chance of success in sustainable behavior change."
