I'm a performance dietitian, specializing in eating disorder recovery, perinatal nutrition, and fueling active lifestyles. I have experience in both the clinical and research settings as they apply to performance nutrition. As a researcher, my background is in military nutrition and nutritional areas of concern in military/active populations, such as energy deficit and associated performance decrements, sex differences in performance outcomes, immune function, the military eating environment, and eating behaviors. As a clinician, I work with adolescent/adult athletes and active populations to manage fueling concerns/performance optimization, recovery from eating disorders and REDs, and women who are in the perinatal stage of life seeking nutritional guidance among a changing body.
I graduated from Purdue University with my Masters degree and completed my dietetic internship training at Mayo Clinic. I've been a board certified sports dietitian since 2018. I grew up as a competitive figure skater and collegiate dancer and had my own struggles with REDs and navigating unhealthy messaging about food from coaches and those in my inner circle. In my private practice, I hope to have a positive impact on women finding confidence in their fueling and make nutrition feel less overwhelming.
