About Me
I am fertility and pregnancy dietitian in practice for over 35 years and certified diabetes care and education specialist for over 25 yrs, working in many medical settings in the areas of Diabetes, gestational Diabetes, prenatal nutrition, medical nutrition therapy and bariatric nutrition.
I love to learn and teach so after I got my master’s in Nutrition at New York University, I earned extra certifications and have experience/training in:
· Fertility & Prenatal nutrition
· Diabetes Education
· Insulin Injection Training
· Continuous Glucose Monitoring
· Insulin Pump Therapy
· Adult Weight Management
· Vegetarian Nutrition
· CDC Diabetes Prevention and Lifestyle
· Basic Culinary Nutrition
My passion for teaching stems from teaching Sunday school in church when I was a teenager to leading a young ladies bible study. My motto with my clients is to empathize, educate and empower. Clients learn to manage their health through nutrition, fitness and behavior change.
My Story
I wanted to continue my PhD after finishing my masters in 1991. I had come to the crossroads of my life and the Lord guided me towards starting a family over pursuing more education and career growth.
I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome in my early 20’s and had gestational diabetes during pregnancy and prolonged labor and delivery. My first child was a gift from the Lord on Christmas day after 7 years of marriage.
I struggled with conceiving my second child so I named him Zachary which means “God remembered”. I am blessed with 2 sons and my daughter who are blooming for the Lord where He has planted them.
I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father. I want to carry out his plans for me. I will do this through my experiences, career, and my gift for teaching and encouragement.
