Background
For nearly 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving Veterans and underserved communities. First as a
clinical dietitian, Chief Clinical Dietitian, Clinical Nutrition Mgr, Asst Chief N&FS, Health Systems Specialist, then as a mentor, educator, and advocate. My journey began with a deep respect for those
who’ve sacrificed for our country, and it continues today through Dietitian Alliance LLC, where every consultation
is rooted in gratitude, cultural humility, and the belief that healing begins with understanding and compassion.
I’ve worked across primary care, critical inpatient settings, and hospital management, most notably within
VA Medical Centers, private and military hospitals across the United States. These experiences shaped my
commitment to equity in care, especially for women Veterans and those navigating chronic conditions. This work is my calling. Every conversation is a chance to uplift, educate, and heal. I believe nutrition should be taught early at the family dinner table, where parents model lifelong habits and flavor become a gateway to nourishment. Through Dietitian Alliance LLC, I continue to build a legacy rooted in service, gratitude, and the belief that no Veteran, no family, and no child should be left behind.
