Degrees: I received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition with a minor in Kinesiology from Penn State University WE ARE!!! I then went on to earn a Master of Science in Exercise and Wellness Promotion from Slippery Rock University. I have been a dietitian for 20 years. 

Certifications: I have a certification in Adult and Pediatric Weight Management. 

Philosophy: I love forming a personal connection with my clients and helping them find their true reason WHY they want to make changes to their lifestyle! Interestingly, its usually different than their original intention or reason they started nutrition counseling in the first place. I also love seeing my client’s quality of life improve! It’s such a rewarding experience to see people’s lives change.

Fun Fact: I teach an Introduction to Nutrition class at a branch campus of Penn State University! I love teaching and educating people on nutrition. I met my husband, over 26 years ago, while taking the class I now teach. We have two teenage children and a teacup goldendoodle (who you may hear barking on our calls, if my office door is open!).
