I was always interested in a career in health and decided to combine that with my passion for food and become a dietitian. I also was interested in the preventive aspect of dietetics and the impact prevention has to overall health and chronic illness. My philosophy of care revolves around patient-centered care. My understanding of the relationship between the health care team and a patient is working together to accomplish a desired goal. Outside of work, I enjoy visiting my family in Chicago, cooking healthy new recipes, taking spin classes, and spending time with my husband and miniature schnauzer, Tessa.

UNC Health contracts with most health insurance companies including, but not limited to, the ones listed here. While we do our best to keep this list up-to-date, it often changes. Professional fees charged by care providers and organizations who are not employed, owned or managed by UNC Health may not be included under the same insurance contracts and may bill separately. Before scheduling your appointment, please contact the organization or care provider in charge of delivering these services as they may be able to help you identify who will be providing these services. Your insurance company can help to determine which specific services, locations and providers are covered by your plan as well as provide you with information regarding co-payments, deductibles or any additional charges that may be your responsibility. UNC Health makes no representation or guarantee of benefits or coverage. Services not covered by your insurance company will be your responsibility. If you are in need of financial assistance, please visit our Financial Assistance page. For additional information regarding insurance accepted at UNC Health, please visit our Insurance page.
