As a former writer and editor, I often worked side jobs in restaurants and bakeries. I was surprised by how many customers asked me advice on what they should order—not for taste, but for health. Why would they trust a waitress, and wasn’t there someone more qualified to answer that? So I decided to become more qualified.

I’m so glad I did! Spending 5 years as an RD in a hospital, I saw the consequences of poor nutrition—chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity and heart disease—that are primarily preventable by eating the right foods. Such a powerful little tool! By working with clients virtually, my goal is to keep them home with their families and out with their friends—not in the hospital.

When I’m not talking food, I can be found roaming the outdoors and the endless streets, parks and bridges of New York City. When I get hungry I seek out the flavor of whatever neighborhood I find myself in. There are so many ways to prepare and enjoy nourishing foods, and I’m happy to support them all!
