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.

In addition, a couple times per year I have a dietetic intern doing part of their internship with me.
