How did you get into nutrition?

As a college freshman, I wasn’t quite sure what a “dietitian” did, but the coursework seemed interesting, as I had enjoyed high school biology and as a competitive swimmer, was always interested in learning about things that could enhance athletic performance.  What intrigued me most – and what I still love about the field today – is that there are so many ways to use nutrition knowledge to enhance the lives of others. 

How would you describe your counseling style?

My counseling style is client-focused and nonjudgmental.  I support my clients with technical expertise, warm compassion, and creative suggestions in making appropriate, realistic goals, aimed at long-term success.
