Hello! How many of you searched online for nutrition questions you had and gotten answers that confused you more? Unsure of what to do next to improve your nutrition? We are here to help you not only have a better understanding of nutrition, but to provide you with evidence-based information to help steer you in the right direction, no matter what stage of life you are in. With my professional experience as a registered dietitian and specialization in renal nutrition in multiple settings, and personal experience managing decreased kidney function, I can assure you that I share some of the frustrations of misinformation found through various online sources. One of my goals as a registered dietitian is to provide you with evidence-based guidance according to your individual nutritional needs, whether it is for general wellness and health, to managing multiple medical conditions through nutrition. My approach to caring for your unique nutritional needs are specific and tailored to you and your health priorities. I also strongly believe in a focus on prevention and complications of chronic medical conditions fueled by supporting your changes in dietary patterns, physical activity, and emotional wellness. 

I have 7 years of experience as a registered dietitian in multiple areas including hospitals, dialysis clinics, kidney transplant centers, weight management clinics including pre- and post-bariatric surgery nutrition support, long term care facilities, gastrointestinal disorders clinic, and general wellness outpatient nutrition counseling. My hope is that my professional and personal experience as a dietitian can be a part of your nutrition journey to being healthier and happier YOU. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
