About Me
I am a New York City based Registered Dietitian currently working in a NYC public hospital. I see patients daily from all around the world and love providing helpful nutrition recommendation tailored to patient's culture and lifestyle.
I saw early on how food impacted societies. Food is a foundation for not only health and wellness, but celebration, connection and happiness. I spent time studying abroad in Morocco at a kitchen whose mission was to employ women and provide both income and education in an area where women's education is typically hard to find. Shortly after, I flew to India to volunteer for an organization providing food and nutrition education to children of New Delhi.
This is when I decided to commence my journey to become a Registered Dietitian. I earned my Masters in Public Health concentrating in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Heels!). During my time at Chapel Hill, I also worked as a personal trainer and helped clients set and achieve their wellness goals.
I then completed my clinical dietetic internship at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, followed by a public health nutrition rotation auditing daycare center's menus to ensure childhood nutrition guideline adherence at the New York State Department of Health.
I'm excited to work with you to achieve your health and wellness goals!
