I received my undergraduate degree in Nutrition & Dietetics from East Carolina University and completed my 1200-hour supervised dietetic internship through the coordinated Masters Program at North Carolina Central University with a focus in Nutrition Science in 2015. Since then, I have worked as a dietitian in private practice, cardiac rehabilitation, cancer wellness, and lifestyle medicine programs through New Hanover Regional Medical Center. I currently live in Wilmington, NC, where I enjoy spending time at the beach with my husband and son & exploring new restaurants.

As a non-diet registered dietitian & a passionate advocate for Health At Every Size ®, I value focusing on health behaviors, instead of the scale, as a means to improving health. I whole-heartedly believe (& have seen through working with clients) that we can pursue health and wellbeing without restrictions. If I haven’t been clear, I believe diets are a bunch of bologna & keep us stuck in the restrict/binge/guilt-shame cycle. I will never suggest that you focus on weight loss as a means to be healthy, & will always focus on what we can add to your life to enhance your wellbeing (both mental and physical) instead of what we can take away. Although I do not prescribe weight loss diets, I do address weight concerns & provide insight on supporting a healthy metabolism.
