With over 30 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, I have dedicated my career to mentoring aspiring dietitians and healthcare professionals, while providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals managing chronic health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, kidney disease, and more. I am deeply committed to empowering clients to achieve their health and wellness goals through personalized, practical nutrition guidance.
I hold a Master’s degree in Foods and Nutrition from Kansas State University and a Bachelor of Science in Food Science, Nutrition, and Food Systems Administration from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have also completed postgraduate studies in Health Care Administration at Central Michigan University. My extensive background in both clinical dietetics and human relations has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the nutrition care process and the ability to support patients across diverse healthcare settings.
My approach to nutrition is rooted in simplicity, support, and sustainability. I believe nourishing your body should not be about restriction, but about creating balance, building confidence, and fostering lasting well-being. I’ve witnessed how rigid food rules can negatively impact health and happiness, and I’m passionate about helping clients break free from that cycle.
By setting realistic, attainable goals together, I strive to help every individual build a healthier, stronger, and more confident version of themselves—one step at a time.
I take great pride in being a wife, mother and grandmother. Family, lifestyle, and culture hold significant importance in my personal life and in my interactions with new clients. Each of us is unique, and I find it invaluable to understand each client as an individual. Our culture, lifestyle, and background greatly influence our relationship with food.
I’m excited to collaborate with you as we embark on your journey toward a healthier lifestyle! Together, we’ll explore the best strategies and support to help you achieve your goals. Your commitment to this path is inspiring, and I’m here to guide and motivate you every step of the way. Let’s make this journey enjoyable and fulfilling!
