Biography

The field of nutrition and dietetics lends itself easily to sharing relatable stories and experiences that are so fundamental to meaningful, memorable information retention. My teaching approach is to assist students in mastering key concepts and principles through active learning exercises, case studies, and group work. I try to inspire a sense of enthusiasm and wonder toward the science of nutrition and broader applications to mental and spiritual well-being. My goal is to establish a warm, welcoming atmosphere that invites openmindedness and critical thinking, while challenging students to meet their highest potential.
