About Me

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Nutrition from the College of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota, and completed my dietetic internship through Saint Louis University, where I also received my Master of Science in Medical Dietetics.

My passion for food and nutrition began early in life and was further strengthened through my experience as a collegiate athlete competing in cross country and track and field. Through athletics, I saw firsthand the impact that proper nutrition has on performance, recovery, and overall well-being. This experience inspired me to become a Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD). Today, I work with athletes on injury prevention and recovery, performance nutrition, and developing sustainable fueling strategies to support their goals.

Much of my professional experience has focused on eating disorders and disordered eating. I have worked across all levels of care—from inpatient to outpatient settings—and with individuals of diverse ages, backgrounds, and diagnoses. As a mother, I have also developed a deeper appreciation for the important role nutrition plays throughout the fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum journey. I completed fertility nutrition training through the Early Life Nutrition Alliance and have experience supporting clients with prenatal and postpartum nutrition, women's health concerns, chronic health conditions, and sustainable lifestyle changes.

Food is an essential part of life, yet navigating nutrition can often feel overwhelming and confusing. My goal is to provide evidence-based guidance in a supportive, compassionate environment. I believe that trust and connection are the foundation of successful nutrition counseling because food is deeply personal. As we work together, I will be your advocate, supporter, and cheerleader every step of the way.
