I received my undergraduate degree from California State University, Chico, and my master’s degree at California State University, Northridge.

When I was 16 years old, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes which is what stemmed my interest to pursue an education toward becoming a registered dietitian.

Prior to my diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, I struggled with binge eating and went on countless diets in hopes of finding more satisfaction in my appearance AND feel healthy.

Well, the diets never worked, and I felt like I was constantly yo-yo’ing with my weight.

When I was in college, one of my professors assigned us to read the intuitive eating book, which was eye-opening. I started to see that my relationship with food had been unhealthy for so long, I did not know how to differentiate my disordered eating habits from normal eating patterns.

Now I have been working with clients using an intuitive eating framework and health at every size. I know first hand that having diabetes is so challenging in every aspect of your life and I want to help YOU feel empowered that you can enjoy all foods while managing your blood sugar.
