About Me

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist since 2020, with experience across clinical, outpatient and wellness settings. My approach focuses on creating sustainable habits that empower patients to take control of their health while considering cultural and personal preferences. I believe in a balanced approach to nutrition that combines evidence-based strategies with compassionate support. I can conduct sessions in English and Spanish.

I earned my degree from Florida International University and have worked with a diverse range of patients managing conditions like obesity, diabetes, and gastrointestinal issues, as well as providing clinical nutrition care in a hospital setting. My mission is to empower patients with the knowledge and tools to feel their best long-term.

Outside of my work, I love spending time with my family, hiking, and discovering new foods. I'm also pursuing a certification in positive psychology to enhance the support I provide to my patients on their wellness journeys.
