I’m a Tucson native, first-generation college graduate, mother of two, and wife of a first responder. Supporting first responder and military families is especially meaningful to me because my own family has experienced many of the unique challenges that come with a life of service. As a Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I help individuals and families build practical, sustainable habits that support long-term health. My approach is patient-centered, focusing on education, skill-building, and behavior change that aligns with each person’s values, goals, and lifestyle. My career began with the University of Arizona Garden Kitchen program, where I taught nutrition, cooking, gardening, and physical activity classes. After completing my dietetic internship, I worked with the Pascua Yaqui Tribe Diabetes Prevention Program, providing nutrition education and supporting community health initiatives for all ages. I later worked with Canyon Ranch and El Rio Community Health as a CDCES, helping patients improve diabetes management and health outcomes. Becoming a mother inspired me to earn my IBCLC credential, allowing me to support families through infant feeding and breastfeeding challenges with evidence-based, compassionate care.
