I have gained my love for good food over the years from a family with broad tastes for different cultures. My interest in nutrition stemmed from my mother's interest in chronic disease prevention and is one of the main reasons why I became a Registered Dietitian. 

​

I first became interested in plant-based nutrition specifically through the discovery of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Forks Over Knives, and How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger. I have since expanded my knowledge by focusing on current and emerging research on a more "flexitarian" diet. My goal is to help people prevent and reverse the chronic diseases that have become so prevalent in America by eating a diet supported by science, focusing on plants.

​

I am also passionate about our environment and doing what we can to reduce and limit the effects of climate change. Our food choices have such an immense impact on our planet and we can directly make beneficial changes by making more sustainable choices. With those interests and coming from a family of both omnivores and herbivores alike, I have a unique take on how to make nourishing, plant-based meals taste delicious!
