Prior to joining Dandelion Nutrition, I worked for four years in community health where I focused on maternal, childhood, and adolescent nutrition and Diabetes self-management. I am a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (formerly Certified Diabetes Educator). This allows me to help clients develop skills to self-manage their Diabetes and the challenges that accompany living with it. While my primary approach is nutritionally focused, I also work with clients and their medical teams to ensure that medication, blood sugar monitoring, and management of acute and chronic complications are in line with personalized, long and short-term goals.
Whether you are looking to reduce meal time stress due to a picky eating child, are seeking an alternative path toward improved Diabetes self-management, or are hoping to improve your health by reevaluating your habits and relationships with food, I will meet you where you are at with a compassionate, client-centered approach. When I am not working, I enjoy cooking, fermentation experiments, hiking, reading, gardening, biking, and arts and culture around the city.
