My interest in nutrition occurred when I was a high school athlete and learned how what you eat will affect your performance. Though I didn't initially pursue a degree in nutrition, I went back to school for a second career in dietetics and have never looked back.

After graduating in the coordinated program from the University of Illinois at Chicago, I explored many different opportunities that are possible with being a dietitian. I worked in hospitals, schools, and agriculture.

After 15 years in various job settings, I came back to my first passion-wellness. I love seeing people realize how small changes can make long, lasting impacts. Everyone is different so there should be no one sized fits all approach to nutrition and wellness. I found my happy in pilates and is also a certified pilates instructor. When I'm not meeting with nutrition or pilates clients, I am usually busy with my other job-being a mom to 3 school-aged kids.
