Responsibilities:
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I specialize in providing personalized nutrition counseling to support patients throughout their healing journey. My goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge and confidence to make informed food choices that enhance their wellbeing and complement their treatment plans. It feels inspiring to support patients in making meaningful shifts in their lifestyle that result in improvements in quality of life, physical and mental health and enhance the pleasure of eating!

Training and Professional Work:
I attended UCLA as an undergraduate, and went to CSULA for my Master’s degree in Nutritional Science. After graduation, I worked as a corporate dietitian for Northrup Grumman where I had the opportunity to help employees experience improved health outcomes and enhanced focus at work. From there I came back to UCLA to teach classes on conscious eating and body image and gave a TEDx talk about the mind-body connection. Thereafter I completed a three-year certification in Spiritual Psychology: Consciousness, Health and Healing at USM while helping my private patients recover from eating disorders and disordered eating (such as overeating, bingeing, emotional eating, undereating, purging, etc). And now I am excited to back at UCLA and at the Simms/Mann clinic helping patients improve their nutrition while making meaning of the Cancer diagnosis and at The California TSM Clinics to support patients in making the most of their transformative treatment.

Personal Interests
In my free time I love to spend time with loved ones, journal, read, watercolor, and go to new cafes with my dog Jax in search of the perfect iced chai latte.
