About Me
I am a Registered Dietitian, Certified Nutritionist, and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complex world of nutrition and wellness. My focus is on empowering my clients to make informed, sustainable changes that address their unique health concerns, such as diabetes, PCOS, weight management, pre- and post-operative bariatric surgery, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and overall wellness.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with patients at renowned medical institutions such as Mount Sinai Hospital, NYU Langone Hospital, Saint Francis Hospital, and Northwell Hospital. At Mount Sinai, I led a specialized outpatient program that supported high-risk patients managing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. I also developed a comprehensive Diabetes Education program across multiple offices within The Queens Long Island Medical Group/Advantage Care Physicians, helping many individuals improve their health through education and support.
I am committed to staying at the forefront of my field by being an active member of the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics and participating in specialized practice groups, including Weight Management & Bariatric, Diabetes Care & Education, Integrative Nutrition, and Dietetic Entrepreneurs. This involvement allows me to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in nutrition science and best practices.
In addition to my clinical work, I contribute to health and wellness publications, where I share insights to help a broader audience achieve better health. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new places, and creating delicious, nutritious recipes with my two children.
I am deeply passionate about improving the lives of others, and I’m dedicated to supporting my clients on their journey toward better health with tailored, evidence-based solutions that promote lasting well-being.
