I became a dietitian because I enjoyed learning about food science in college and have always wanted to make a difference in how people view food. From an early age, I knew that I wanted to help others build a healthy lifestyle. I love to cook, try new foods and discuss recipes. My work as a lifestyle educator prepared me for dietetic training. My philosophy is to meet my patients where they are currently. I hope to be their nutrition coach, teacher and cheerleader, enabling them to feel empowered to improve their overall health through lifestyle changes that work for them. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, entertaining friends and family, hunting, and fishing. Other hobbies include gardening, swimming and yoga.

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.
