Welcome to The Delightfuel Dietitian! I am passionate about nutrition and helping others achieve healthier lifestyles. I offer to you over 20 years of experience  as a registered dietitian.

Born and raised in Wisconsin, I  earned my  Bachelor's degree in Dietetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and my Bachelor's degree in Community Health Education from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. After practicing in long-term care, acute care, and the outpatient setting, I  obtained my Masters of Science in Nutrition from Northeastern University in Boston. 

My  passion for clinical nutrition and gerontological nutrition led me to earn the Advanced Practice (RD-AP) and Specialist in Gerontological Nutrition (CSG) certifications. I am also a Fellow of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

I believe strongly in giving back, which is why I volunteer. I am an active member of the Wisconsin Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (WAND), currently serving as President. I was given WAND's 2020 Outstanding Dietitian award in recognition of my contributions to the organization and the dietetics field. Past WAND position include state Media Representative, Membership Chair, and Reimbursement Representative.  I am a member of several dietary practice groups (DPGs) through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Clinical Nutrition Management, Nutrition Support, and Healthy Aging.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, singing in my church's choir, and being active. I reside in Jefferson, Wisconsin with my two sons, ages 11 and 13 years.
