About Me
Registered Dietitian
I bring a diverse range of experience working in the performance nutrition world, having worked with athletes at both the collegiate and professional levels—including time with the NFL and five different collegiate athletic programs. My hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of the unique nutritional demands across all levels of competition.
As a former NCAA Division II All-American swimmer who competed at the national level throughout my four-year undergraduate career, I’ve lived the life of a high-performing athlete. I know firsthand the physical, mental, and emotional demands that come with training and competing at an elite level. That personal journey is what sparked my passion for sports nutrition.
Looking back, I often wish I had access to a performance dietitian to help optimize my performance. That absence of support is what now drives my commitment—not only to continue expanding my knowledge in sports dietetics, but to empower athletes with the individualized nutrition guidance they need to perform at their best.
My personal experience as a national level swimmer throughout my four-year undergraduate degree has not only allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the challenges of being an athlete, but it has also driven my passion for the field of sports nutrition. As a NCAA Division II individual All-American swimmer, I wish I had been provided with the opportunity to further enhance my performance with the assistance from a sports RD. This lack of expertise during my athletic career is what drives me to not only want to further my knowledge in the field of sports dietetics, but to help other athletes achieve their optimal performance through nutrition.
If you are looking to enhance your performance through diet and nutrition, please contact me to setup a consultation.
