Nutrition and service are two of my greatest passions. As I have discovered my passion for nutrition throughout the years, I have realized how much of an intentional and service based career it is. Nutrition effects the lives and bodies of everyone—the healthy and the sick, the busy and the idle, the wealthy and the impoverished; the list goes on.

My initial interest with the study of nutrition was a result of my experiences with various physical and emotional nutrition-related health concerns among my family and peers as well as myself. Nutrition is unique as it plays such a variety of roles in the lives of different cultures and people. As a dietitian, I use my background to approach people with empathy, patience, and respect, with an understanding that each individual experiences situations differently, both physically and emotionally.

My curiosity and astonishment with nutrition has exponentially increased as I have learned about the complexity of nutrition during college and my dietetic internship. I have always been know as the "question-asker" due to my inquisitive drive for understanding the minute details as well as the larger picture. I am an individual who is eager to learn new skills and grow in my career as a Registered Dietitian.
