About

MY BACKGROUND

I have been interested in dietetics ever since high school when I discovered the profession could encompass my love of cooking, scientific discovery, and individualized medical care. My study abroad experiences in Madrid, Spain deepened my passion for working with international populations who may not have the benefits of nutrition professionals. Fitness has always been a part of my life since I have been swimming competitively since age 5. After completing the UMCP Internship, I am interested in working with maternal and fetal health in a global context. Outside of the nutrition world, I enjoy exploring new food establishments, cooking for family and friends, playing with my dog, and hanging out at the beach!
