I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 34 years of experience. At a young age, I saw my pregnant mom help my dad recover from cancer treatment while raising our family. As time went on, I always tried to help him eat the right foods as he also suffered from IBS. I found it fascinating how food, if properly chosen and prepared, could make his day, help him function and go to work, and be strong. This was when I realized how much I enjoyed helping people, and so I eventually pursued a career in dietetics. I went on to receive my Bachelor's degree in Dietetics from University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, CT and completed my clinical internship at the University of Connecticut Health Center Farmington, CT. Now, my specialties include a wide variety of areas, including weight management, gut health, diabetes, heart health, renal, autoimmune support, and women's health.
