I became a dietitian in May 2021, extremely excited to begin practicing nutrition. I knew I was going to pursue a career in dietetics in high school after I met a dietitian who opened my eyes and changed the way I looked at nutrition in its entirety. I became fascinated with the way nutrition could impact the body, mind, and spirit. I developed a love for nourishing my body and desired to help others do the same. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree from Buffalo State College and obtained my master’s degree from the University at Buffalo. At the University at Buffalo, I was privileged enough to teach Culinary Medicine on three separate occasions. I taught Culinary Medicine community classes and two University classes for undergraduate and graduate students. Due to my background in culinary medicine, I can help my clients make a lifestyle change by not only providing guidance on healthy eating, but how to incorporate them into easy and delicious meals for their busy days ahead.

I have always emphasized that focusing on adding foods to your diet, instead of removing them, is the best way to improve your health. Healthy eating is an entire experience and is a skill to be learned.  The healthy eating experience is shopping for local fruits and vegetables at a farmer’s market, it’s a social time preparing the food with your family, and it’s enjoying the feeling that the nutrients you are putting in your body, are benefitting your body. There are so many barriers to healthy eating, let's break them down together. Let’s remove the stress and hassle from healthy eating and cooking and change it into something you love.
