I have been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) for 16 years and love helping people feel better by improving their health. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics and a Master of Science in Nutritional Sciences from Iowa State University. I received a Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition (DCN) from the University of North Florida. My goal is to help others improve their health, whether it be individually, with a group of friends, in a large fitness group, or at a business.
I have been a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) since 2003, am a Fellow of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and am a member of the Collegiate and Professional Sports Dietitians Association. I am also a member of Dietetic Practice Groups including Sports & Human Performance Nutrition, Nutrition Entrepreneurs, and Nutrition Educators of Health Professionals.
I have been an athlete all my life. In high school, I played volleyball and ran track and went on to earn a scholarship to play volleyball in college. In my free time, I enjoy running 5Ks to half-marathons, playing volleyball, cross-country skiing, kayaking, reading, and crocheting.
