About Me
With a deep passion for empowering individuals through nutrition education, I am committed to helping others optimize their well-being. My interest in dietetics was sparked by personal experiences with women’s health issues, which led me to investigate the intricate relationships between nutrition and bodily function. The human body is a remarkable entity and providing it with proper nutritional fuel is essential for facilitating the healing process. I adopt a holistic approach to wellness, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health. My academic foundation in dietetics was established through the completion of a Bachelor of Science degree at Western Michigan University in 2013, followed by a dietetic internship program. This comprehensive education enabled me to explore various facets of nutrition and identify my area of specialization. With over a decade of experience in outpatient settings, I have developed expertise in addressing diverse health concerns, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and oncology. I have also designed and led numerous food demonstrations and weight loss groups. As a multifaceted individual, I balance my professional life with personal responsibilities and interests. My philosophy emphasizes the medicinal properties of food and the importance of understanding individual nutritional needs to achieve optimal health.
