From medicine to nutrition — and finding the work that matters.

I began college pursuing medicine, but quickly realized my calling was in nutrition science. I discovered its role both in preventive care and treatment, where targeted nutrition strategies can support recovery, manage chronic conditions, and improve quality of life. I was especially drawn to how nutrition uniquely supports not only physical health, but also mental and emotional well-being.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a concentration in Nutrition, and my Master's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from UNC Chapel Hill's Gillings School of Global Public Health. After graduation, I returned to eastern North Carolina to work as an outpatient dietitian. I joined local run clubs and was excited to complete my first half marathon last March — an experience that deepened my passion for sports nutrition and gave me the opportunity to put fueling strategies into practice firsthand.

I've learned how transformative intuitive eating can be — not only for improving relationships with food, but also for enhancing quality of life and fostering a sense of internal peace. I'm committed to supporting you in fueling your body well, feeling your best, and finding peace with food — helping you break free from confusion and guilt around eating, discover what truly works for your body, and build habits that support both your health and happiness.
