About Me
Maryrose's interest in nutrition began before she became a dietitian. While working for an interior design company and overseeing a design project, she realized that she wasn't making a meaningful impact on anyone's life. This recognition led her to combine her passion for nutrition with her desire to help people, prompting her to return to school to become a dietitian.
Throughout her career, Maryrose worked as a retail dietitian, where she gained valuable insights into the foods we consume and how they end up on store shelves. During this time, she had the opportunity to refine her counseling skills, providing guidance to thousands of individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Maryrose applies the skills she has developed and the knowledge she has acquired in nutrition to customize care for each individual. She is committed to staying current with the latest nutrition recommendations and trends.
Maryrose is a graduate of Rutgers University and completed her dietetic internship at the University of Medicine & Dentistry, which is now part of Rutgers University. Her training occurred at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and Jersey Shore Medical Center. Additionally, she has completed Levels 1 and 2 of the Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management, Certificate in Health and Wellness Coaching, and Integrative and Functional Nutrition from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Maryrose also serves as a board member for Feeding Middlesex County and Meals on Wheels, organizations that address food insecurity in the community. As a dietitian, Maryrose understands the importance of access to healthy foods in building healthy lives and communities. She believes her role on the board will enable her to make a positive impact in the area.
Her passion for nutrition is rooted in her client's success. Maryrose loves to empower individuals to create healthier futures. When it's time to relax, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, experimenting with watercolor painting, and interior decorating.
