My interest in food and nutrition began when I was young and has grown through the years. I chose to turn that interest into a career by pursuing a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition. I also completed a one year dietetic internship program and I am certified in adult weight management. Since completing my schooling I have been very lucky to work with a diverse population of individuals with many varying needs and disease states including obesity, high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, liver disease, and heart disease. I also have worked with pregnant and breastfeeding mothers as well as children of all ages including infants/newborns.

I believe that the common thread with all populations is that when it comes to nutrition and healthy lifestyle it is the small things that count. Small changes can yield big results and a healthy lifestyle, including the right food choices, can enhance or improve your overall health and well-being. I do not believe in diets because no one can diet forever. There are no bad foods just bad choices. That's why it is important to learn that all foods and food groups can fit into your busy lifestyle! I want you to be able to enjoy your life and your chocolate cake!
