About Me
I grew up in north Louisiana and attended Louisiana Tech University for my BS in Nutrition and Dietetics and my supervised dietetic internship. After passing the Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist exam and becoming an RDN, I worked in nursing homes, hospitals, dialysis clinics, and pre-dialysis kidney care and diabetes education.
During this time, I attained my MBA from Western Governors University and my Board Certification as a Specialist in Renal Nutrition from the Commission on Dietetic Registration. I currently serve as Co-Chair of the Council on Renal Nutrition of Florida and I'm a member of the National Kidney Foundation.
When I'm not working, I enjoy doing yoga, reading, cooking, gardening, hiking, and I've recently learned to ski!
I don't believe that anyone should have to give up the foods that they love to manage their disease. That's why I work with my patients to make realistic and meaningful changes that work for them and for their families.
