Bio

I’m passionate about helping people live healthy lives. Since health education, nutritious eating and exercise transformed my own life, I’ve been committed to giving others the care and information they need to make better choices.

In each role, I’ve maintained a core expertise in nutrition, and I love connecting that science to the people who need it most.
