I'm a dietitian specializing in endocrinology and diabetes education. I am client-centered and I focus on meeting my patients where they are in their health journey, rather than trying to guide them toward something they are not comfortable with or ready for. I pride myself on empathetic listening and being open-minded to everyone.
My mom was a nurse, and she inspired me to want to work with patients. She suggested I study nutrition, and I quickly discovered I had a passion for it. I specifically wanted to work with Cincinnati Children's because of their endocrinology department. I wanted to continue my career in diabetes education, and the pediatric population was one I craved for experience.
I'm passionate and patient, and I keep my patients' best interests in mind when educating them on topics of interest. I take pride in being professional and courteous at all times.
When I'm not at work, I enjoy cross-stitching, board games, rock climbing and visiting museums with my husband.
