Meet Our Team
“I enjoy helping patients implement a nutrition plan specific to their individual needs and introducing them to budget friendly recipes they can make at home to maintain a balanced diet.”
"I became a dietitian because I think it is very important to care for your body through all life stages. Working with others and helping them learn to improve their health through diet and lifestyle and enhance their quality of life is very rewarding.”
“I want YOU to feel better. Knowledge of your diabetes gives you more power to control
it, so it doesn’t control you.”
