I've always been fascinated by people: what makes us tick, what helps us grow, and why knowing what to do and actually doing it are often two very different things.

My career has taken a few unexpected turns. I actually started out managing legal clerks before finding my way into clinical nutrition and health coaching. Those worlds might seem unrelated, but looking back, I can see a common thread: working with people, navigating challenges, and finding ways to help others succeed.

Over the past 13-plus years, my work has evolved from supporting individuals with their health and well-being to developing educational programs, mentoring professionals, and leading learning experiences.

I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition and am both a Certified Nutritionist (CN) and a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). Today, I lead advanced health coach education at ISSA and Health Coach Institute. I have also served as an expert advisor to the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) and the advisory board for UC San Diego's Health & Wellness Coaching Certificate Program.

Along the way, I've learned that meaningful growth rarely happens in a straight line. People are complicated. Life is messy. And even the best information doesn't do much good if we can't figure out how to apply it in real life.

That's what I love most about my work: taking complex ideas, making them approachable, and creating space where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

Beyond the Work

Outside of work, I'm happiest enjoying life's little pleasures and exploring something new. Give me a slow morning with a good book, a warm drink, and a cat at my feet, and I'm perfectly content. But I'm just as happy hunting for treasures at a thrift store, discovering a new restaurant with my husband, catching up with friends over brunch, or heading to the park or zoo with our son.

The people closest to me would probably tell you that I'm someone they can count on. What matters most to me, though, is knowing that the people in my life feel genuinely seen and heard.

These days, I'm especially energized by speaking, teaching, and bringing people together around ideas that matter. I love creating experiences that spark curiosity, encourage connection, and leave people with something they can actually use.
