I find deep fulfillment in my work because it allows me to help my clients make positive, lasting changes in their lives. Teaching is one of my greatest passions, and my goal is to empower those I serve to live longer, healthier, and better lives.

I earned my undergraduate degree in business from Emory University in Atlanta. After graduation, I worked in advertising and food marketing, where I had the opportunity to collaborate with dietitians who ultimately inspired my career path. Their influence led me to pursue my passion for food, nutrition, and health, and I went on to earn my graduate degree in Community Nutrition from Georgia State University.

During my time at GSU, I was honored to receive several academic awards, including the Johnnie W. Prothro Academic Excellence Award, the Georgia State University President’s Plaque for Academic Excellence, the Georgia State University Key for Academic Excellence, and recognition as a Georgia State University Faculty Scholar. I was also elected to Who’s Who Among American Colleges and Universities.

Following graduation, I spent six years as the dietitian for Northside Hospital’s Weight Reduction Clinic, where I provided individual nutrition consultations addressing a variety of medical conditions. During my time at Northside, I developed a Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) nutrition education program and was actively involved in the hospital’s Speakers’ Bureau, presenting at community events and corporate health fairs. Before opening my private practice, I also worked in worksite wellness at The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

My greatest strength is my enthusiasm. I approach my work with an open mind, free of judgment, and treat each client as a unique individual. As an unbiased, objective, and compassionate listener, I strive to create a supportive environment where real change can happen.
