I started as a registered dietitian working at a corporate health club as a Nutrition Program Coordinator. I have also worked in clinical settings such as long-term care over the years, but now I own and operate my own practice. Since becoming a RDN, I've gotten a master's degree in Multidisciplinary Health Communications specializing in Behavioral Theory, and most recently completed my NASM personal training certification to bring another aspect of knowledge to my practice.

When I had my first baby, I decided to focus exclusively on baby and kids’ nutrition (specifically educating parents on how to best feed their families and nurture a healthy relationship with food) as well as disordered eating patterns in the teenage years and adulthood (and how to prevent these behaviours from an early age). I discovered blogging and have slowly transitioned from in-person counselling to educating a wider audience through the creation of online resources, writing and blogging for parents of babies and young kids.

Having exposure to various roles early in my career, I gained a variety of skills specific to those areas of dietetics. So, I suppose I have front line experience. I have learned how to connect with individuals and the importance of hearing their stories; I have gained confidence and insight to recognize my strengths and limitations; I take opportunities to learn and develop where possible. The day I feel I know everything about nutrition and dietetics is the day I fail as a dietitian. I will be forever learning, growing, and expanding on my education.
