My grandmother had Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease and other co-morbidities that led to her being in pain as well as to multiple hospital visits. I remember reading the registered dietitian's notes to my grandmother about portion control, weighing her proteins and counting carbs. That gave me the motivation to pursue nutrition and dietetics; I saw first-hand how beneficial it was for my grandmother to have that kind of support. \n My grandmother, who passed away in 2016, never knew me as a registered dietitian. But I promised her that if I did obtain my RD credential, I would care for my patients just as I would have cared for her. It's a promise I hold dear. \n I love supporting patients in reaching their weight loss goals, increasing their awareness of smart food choices and encouraging them every step of the way! \n It's important to me that I care for patients based on their personal needs rather than using one approach for everyone. It's important to consider an individual's culture, socioeconomic status and their daily routines when trying to provide the best nutritional care. I work to create a plan to accommodate each person that considers any barriers or limitations they're faced with. \n I take pride in connecting with my patients. I really take the time to listen to their concerns. I believe in meeting individuals where they are in their weight loss journey, while offering nutrition advice that's realistic for each patient. \n In my free time, I love to hike; cuddle with my cat, Bumper; watch movies; and eat! (Healthfully, of course.) My favorite meals come from Japanese and Italian restaurants. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, laughing and making memories with those I love.

I went vegetarian at a young age and that sparked my passion for nutrition and health. I've always wanted to work in the healthcare field, since I enjoy helping people and find it rewarding to make a difference in someone else's life. \n I completed my undergraduate degree in nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) and subsequently completed my Master of Science in nutrition and dietetic internship at Appalachian State University. My academic journey was complemented by a deep engagement in community service, notably volunteering at my local food pantry and contributing to the UNCG Food Recovery Network. These experiences enriched my understanding of the vital link between food, community and health. \n I enjoy connecting with people through food and nutrition. I'm a firm believer in treating the person rather than the disease or condition. My passion is working closely with patients in providing nutrition counseling and education. I'm thankful for a career I find fulfilling and one that allows me to learn something new each day. \n When not at work, I cherish moments spent with my family, including my twin sister, our older brother and an extended family of pets. My boyfriend and I share our home with two energetic dogs - a German shepherd and a border collie - and a mischievous black cat, while my parents' beagles, Stella and June, hold a special place in my heart. \n My hobbies include reading, hiking, crocheting, knitting and baking, often treating friends and family to homemade sweets. I'm also a runner and greatly enjoy getting outside to run, especially in the refreshing air of spring and fall.
