What I'm looking for

I seek a mission-driven role leading clinical nutrition or diabetes programs where I can drive quality improvement, expand access to care, mentor teams, and align services with institutional goals.

I am a mission-driven, board-certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and registered dietitian with over 15 years of experience delivering patient-centered care, clinical outreach, and strategic program development across top-tier health systems.

I design and lead evidence-based diabetes education and nutrition programs, serve as Quality Coordinator for ADA ERP accreditation, and drive data-informed quality improvement initiatives presented at national conferences.

As a clinical nutrition manager, I directed outpatient operations across multiple cancer center sites, standardized practice across locations, recruited and mentored teams, and implemented scalable service models that improved clinical efficiency and patient outcomes.

I also maintain a private practice delivering individualized telehealth and in-person nutrition care, create educational content and workshops, and am passionate about expanding access to high-quality nutrition services through partnerships and stakeholder engagement.
