Prescott, AZ | Lancaster, PA
More than twenty years ago, I became a Registered Dietitian -- drawn to nutrition first as an elite athlete. A multi-sport competitor and State Champ who advanced through the USA Field Hockey Futures program -- the national Olympic development pipeline -- in my senior year. I went on to play Division I field hockey on a full scholarship. I was curious about what fueled performance and how food shaped the body from the inside out.
What I didn't anticipate was that in the midst of my training and education, significant health challenges would emerge and transform that curiosity into something far deeper. I discovered firsthand how profoundly food and lifestyle can shape the body's capacity to recover, adapt, and function. That experience didn't just change how I practice. It changed how I think about health entirely: with more curiosity, more humility, and a deep respect for how interconnected the body really is.
I earned my BS in Nutrition & Dietetics from the University of Delaware and completed my clinical internship at Geisinger Medical Center in Pennsylvania in 2005. After four years as a hospital dietitian, I founded Professional Nutrition Consulting, PLLC in 2009 and have been in private practice ever since.
Over the years I've pursued training in integrative and functional nutrition and mind-body approaches to chronic illness -- including their role in complex food and environmental sensitivities.
I currently serve clients through Fullscript, a secure practitioner platform that allows me to provide personalized nutrition guidance, supplement recommendations, and lab access at no charge and without scheduled appointments.
My work is expanding. I am currently pursuing a Master of Public Health in Health Promotion at National University -- building toward community and population-level health work that complements individual nutrition support. That shift is reflected in my writing, my local advocacy, and where I see the most opportunity to move the needle on health outcomes.
When I'm not working, I'm outside exploring. The Prescott wilderness and the Lancaster countryside, where I was raised, have both shaped who I am. Time in nature is where I process, reset, and remember why this work matters. It's not separate from what I do -- it's the foundation of it.
