Highly Specialized
Nutrition & Wellness.

My love for learning about nutrition began when I was a teenager, when I eliminated all meat, poultry, eggs, and some dairy from my diet in an attempt to live a vegetarian lifestyle. At the time, I did not know how to consume adequate nutrients through alternative, plant based foods and after a few months of following this eating pattern, my health began to suffer. After getting blood work done, I realized I was deficient in different vitamins and minerals and that I had to change my eating habits to improve my health and wellbeing. After hiring a registered dietitian who took me food shopping and taught me what foods I should incorporate back into my diet to not only improve my blood work but to also improve my energy levels, I was able to reverse my deficiencies and physically feel much better. Since my experience with her, I knew that I wanted to help and positively impact others in the same way that she helped me. I wanted to make a difference in peoples’ lives through the foods they eat.

I later graduated with my Bachelors of Science degree from Rutgers University and my Masters of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics degree from Central Michigan University. In between, I completed my dietetic internship, which consisted of a minimum of 1200 hours of supervised nutrition practice, coursework, and projects. Besides nutrition, I have a love for fitness and I received my personal training certification in 2015, ran in the New Jersey half marathons, and competed in bodybuilding.

Prior to starting my own practice, I worked in both the clinical and outpatient settings, where I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience working with individuals with both acute and chronic conditions and diseases, such as morbid obesity, cancer, stroke, heart conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, and kidney disease.
