I am a “transplant” from Western New York. Originally from Rochester, I attended college at SUNY Buffalo State College, where I graduated in 2021. I completed a rigorous coordinated program in dietetics which encompassed both a BS in dietetics and 1200 hours of supervised practice throughout my four years of study in Buffalo,

After graduation, I moved to Connecticut to continue my career. I have  experience with chronic condition management for conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. I have worked closely with the geriatric population throughout Rhode Island and Connecticut.  

I have a background as a pharmacy technician which I feel gives me an extra edge and insight in viewing the patient as a whole and creating a comprehensive nutrition plan.  It was during my work as a pharmacy technician when I realized while there may be pills to solve many problems, why not prevent them instead? Much of prevention starts with lifestyle and nutrition. Remembering to take a pill every day can be hard and expensive.  After taking a nutrition course in college, I realized many of the chronic conditions I was seeing patients pick up prescriptions for could be prevented or at least mitigated with better nutrition.  I immediately switched my major from pharmacy to nutrition with the end goal of making nutrition information simple and digestible for everyone.
