Background

I have been an RD for 25yrs and working in the healthcare industry for 30yrs.

I completed my dietetic internship at Saint Louis University where I also initiated my Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition. I completed my Masters degree in Clinical Nutrition at the University of Kansas.

I’ve worked in multiple areas: long-term-care/ acute hospital care/ outpatient doctor office across 3 states (Oklahoma/ Kansas & my home state of Missouri.

I love to talk & learn new things to share with my patients.

I am a lifetime fan of the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs teams!

Enjoy reading & working in my yard. 

I have an adorable King Charles Cavalier puppy dog named Jasper & a Ragdoll cat named Bella (& she is fiesty!)

I have an 18y/o son who is starting college in the Fall studying to be a Precision Machinist.

Approach

"I am passionate about helping people having a healthy relationship with food. I am a realist in my approach at helping someone find what works for them within their lifestyle and health goals while acknowledging the financial needs as well. All things work for somebody but not all things work for everyone."
