I am part coach, part cheerleader, part counselor, part accountability committee, part myth buster…I try very much to meet each client where he or she needs me.

After that, I worked in long term care, which I loved! Then, the opportunity to work in the north came up, and I moved to the Arctic for my current position.
Read MoreExplaining what a registered dietitian does can be difficult. My goal is to be a blessing in the lives of the people I serve.
