I am a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist and Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) with over 5 years of counseling experience. Watching my grandpa slowly suffer from diabetes complications, losing all kidney function, his left foot and then his sight, inspired me to understand the connection between diet and disease. This was a fundamental education gap missing in an African American household. I went on to complete my bachelor’s degree in dietetics, become a personal trainer, and ultimately specialize in sports. I love to work with college and professional athletes, as well as others looking to generally improve their athletic performance, change body composition, and optimize their overall fitness. You will also find me featured in sports-nutrition related articles by the Food Network, Men’s Journal Forbes Health, and more.
