Tell us 3 fun facts about yourself!
A: I am a PDAI certified scuba diver. My favorite summer/fall activity is backpacking and hiking. I also am a certified spin instructor.
Tell us what lead you to become a Registered Dietitian.
A: I grew up in a very athletic family and played field hockey through college. One of my most vivid memories is going to watch my parents run the Boston Marathon each year. Every year we waited for them in the same spot with Gatorade, water, and GU nutrition gels. It was not until I became an athlete myself that I realized how important optimal nutrition is.
I attended University of Vermont where I received a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics, Nutrition and Food Science. I then went on to pursue my dietetic internship and Master of Science in Nutrition from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. During my internship I received training in outpatient counseling, school food service, medical nutrition therapy, as well as interned with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank.
What do you specialize in?
A: The reason I love being a dietitian is that I don’t need to specialize in any specific topic, I get to work with clients who have a wide variety of nutritional needs. I help clients work through recent diagnoses of chronic diseases, promote healthy weight loss, GI issues, as well as help clients build a healthy relationship with food.
What is your favorite part of being a Registered Dietitian?
A: My favorite part of being a dietitian is watching clients build healthy relationships with food and feel comfortable in their skin again. I am a people person and absolutely love talking to patients and learning their story.
