MY STORY

I developed an interest in food and nutrition from an early age after battling my own food and eating disorder. I became devoted to helping others overcome the same situation I once faced. So, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Nutrition and Foods from WVU in 2017. I later went on to complete my Masters of Science in nutrition from Keiser University with a combined accredited dietetic internship. After accepting my first job as a Registered Dietitian in WV, I became increasingly aware of the burden felt by my patients struggling with overweight and obesity and the health challenges faced by these patients. As a result, I grew a strong interest in Diabetes management and the prevention of chronic diseases. As a nationally Registered Dietitian, I became frustrated with the amount of inaccurate and unreliable information available to patients. My goal is to provide evidence-based care and help patients grow a more positive image of food, nutrition, and, most importantly, THEMSELVES.

My Goals are Based on My Beliefs of:

• Evidence-Based Practice and Research

• Flexibility and Balance 

• Progress NOT Perfection

• Individualized Care

• Growing Positive Relationships with Food and Body Image
