My Journey in Nutrition
I chose to work in the health and wellness industry to decrease health disparities among various populations. Each day, I’m driven to provide health education that helps people achieve their goals, prevent chronic illnesses, and create healthier households across the country.
After I completed my training as a clinical nutritionist, I pursued my love for education as an adjunct professor at Saint Elizabeth University. My courses focused on community nutrition, preparing the next generation of nutrition practitioners to enter the field.
At the same time, I founded my company, Comprehensive Medical Nutrition Solutions. We are a nutrition and health education consulting firm specializing in creating unique programs tailored to our clients’ needs. Our mission is to build healthier communities and strengthen the domestic hunger safety net. We work with individuals, government organizations, corporations, restaurants, and community organizations. I’ve developed and implemented several curriculums for government agencies on healthy eating, meal preparation, and budgeting, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) SNAP-Ed program and Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC).
I joined Flo’s medical board in the summer of 2020, and I’m so thrilled to be here! It’s great to collaborate with the team; I’ve enjoyed creating expert content on nutrition, such as a video series on the importance of hydration for people trying to conceive.
