Philosophy
I believe in preventative medicine.
I believe if we make healthier, wiser choices now, then we will live fuller, happier lives for years to come.
This site was inspired by my family and my love of nutrition. I have worked in food service for over 7 years, studied nutrition for 6, and have been a competitive athlete for 14. With my experiences in each of the fields, I have found my true happiness in being able to help others, either as a mentor, teacher, or friend.
I am currently a Registered Dietitian at the Hospital for Special Surgery. I am also completing my M.S. in Nutrition and Public Health at Columbia University. In the fall, I will begin my PhD at Tufts Freidman School of Food Policy and Applied Nutrition. My future goal is to help shape food policy so that we can all have access to healthy and nutritious foods. Until then, I’m taking small steps.
This site is a place to share thoughts, questions, concerns, and overall knowledge.
What I know, I want you to know. It’s just that simple.
