About Me
Before working as a Dietitian Coach at All Access Dietitians, I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and a Master of Science in Nutrition from UIC.
I was called to become a dietitian after my experience working at an integrative medical center during undergraduate and learning how lifestyle changes can have such a great impact on health and quality of life. During my studies for nutrition I became even more interested in metabolic health, including weight management and diabetes. Since becoming a dietitian, I have focused on working with clients aiming to lose weight and improve diabetes outcomes. I have since obtained my certification as a diabetes educator and am experienced working with diabetes technology.
In addition to my coaching philosophy, I also believe that food and nutrition can be fun and bring joy to life. My goal is to demystify nutrition, and help clients realize their goals in a personalized and approachable manner, while building confidence around food choices.
Outside of helping clients make their nutrition dreams a reality, I enjoy cooking with family and friends, attending live music events, dancing, and exploring new destinations.
