Biography :

I received my B.A. from Hamilton College, where I also played collegiate soccer, and went on to earn a Master’s in Nutrition and Dietetics from Metropolitan State University of Denver. I completed my dietetic internship with a concentration in integrative nutrition through Sodexo. Currently, I work at VIDA Fitness, a boutique gym in Arlington, Virginia.

My approach to nutrition is rooted in the belief that it should be both personalized and sustainable. I work closely with clients to build strategies that align with their unique lifestyles and goals.

My passion for nutrition began as an athlete—I experienced firsthand how food impacted both performance and overall well-being. As I deepened my understanding, I realized that feeling your best involves much more than what’s on your plate. Integrative and functional nutrition takes a whole-person approach, considering not only diet but also factors like stress, sleep, hormones, gut health, and environment.

By implementing the principles of integrative nutrition in my practice, I’m able to offer highly individualized, evidence-based care that supports lasting wellness and true healing.

Outside of work, you can find me playing soccer, working out, or riding horses.
