Education and Experience:I am a Registered & Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist with a Master of Science in Nutrition degree obtained from Dominican University in River Forest, IL. Before attaining my master’s degree, I completed my undergraduate degree and dietetic internship at Dominican University. The bulk of my internship experience included motivational interviewing and medical nutrition therapy within a Level 1 Trauma Center in the heart of Chicago. With my experience, I have had the opportunity to provide individualized nutrition education and counseling sessions to a variety of children, teens, adults, and elderly patients. I also have experience as a Certified Personal Trainer and as a nanny for a six-year-old girl with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

My Philosophy:Making a lifestyle change is a hard and sometimes daunting experience. My goal is to therefore educate patients on how to make choices that will lead them towards sustainable and long-term success. Since no two individuals are the same, I believe in individualized and patient-centered care. My philosophy includes consuming nourishing and delicious food, making small changes in order to see big results, and respecting the one body that you were given. My overall goal is to provide nutrition education while using evidence-based nutrition research, my education, and the nutrition care process.

More About Me:My other passion includes soccer! I have been a youth soccer coach for more than 5 years and have played the sport my entire life. Outside of work, I enjoy being outside, trying new foods, exercising, reading, riding my bike, and finding new coffee spots.
