Founder & Functional Nutritionist
Welcome! I’m a virtual Functional Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a deep passion for using food as medicine to help people feel their best.
My path to nutrition started early. I struggled with chronic digestive issues and cystic acne, and by my freshman year of college, I had been prescribed 10 different antibiotics. After years of frustration and no clear answers, I decided to take my health into my own hands. I shifted toward a diet rooted in whole, nutrient-dense foods, replaced processed “health” products with real ingredients, and immersed myself in learning everything I could about nutrition. As my habits changed, my symptoms quickly improved.
That experience sparked something bigger. I realized how many people were dealing with the same issues I had faced, and I knew I wanted to help.
After graduating, I moved to New York City and began working in product development at American Express. Outside of work, I was recipe testing, building a meditation practice, and eventually became a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. That path ultimately led me to transition fully into nutrition.
Today, I focus on helping clients build sustainable, realistic habits that support long-term health. I understand what it feels like to be exhausted, to rely on caffeine to get through the day, to struggle with hormonal imbalances, acne, and digestive discomfort. I’ve lived it, and I bring that perspective into my work.
I’ve worked with clients across clinical acute care, community settings, functional medicine practices, and wellness centers. These experiences have reinforced that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to understand each individual’s unique needs and focus on simple, effective changes that create lasting results. My work integrates nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted lab testing to uncover root causes and build personalized plans that truly fit into real life.

Functional Nutritionist
Born and raised in NYC, I was used to pushing through. Slowing down felt foreign, and for a long time, my health stayed on the back burner until my symptoms became too loud to ignore.
I know what it feels like to stress over symptoms that do not seem to make sense, to feel stuck trying to identify triggers, and to be told everything looks “normal” when you know something still feels off.
Through personalized nutrition and functional medicine, I was finally able to understand what my body was asking for. That experience changed not just my symptoms, but my relationship with food, stress, and my body as a whole.
It is also what led me to earn my Master’s in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and become a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS). Now I help clients dealing with gut issues, food sensitivities, acne, hormone imbalances, and hard-to-explain symptoms find clarity through a personalized, root-cause approach. Together we create a plan that feels realistic, supportive, and sustainable.
My goal is to help you better understand your body, feel more confident in what it needs, and find an approach that truly works for you.

Recognizing that just because a symptom is common doesn’t mean it’s normal became a pivotal realization for me.
I struggled with extreme fatigue, constant bloating, heavy periods, persistent sinus infections, and acne for years before I acknowledged that my health was suffering — because these things were normal, right? After trying numerous band-aid approaches with no long-term relief in sight, I reached a breaking point toward the end of college. I turned to a nutrition course as a last resort. This decision, rooted in my studies as a Biology major on a pre-medicine track, sparked a passion for healing through food.
While changing my diet laid the groundwork for my well-being, it was functional nutrition that provided the key to understanding the root causes of my symptoms. By uncovering the underlying nutrient and system imbalances I had been living with, I learned to heal holistically from within. My symptoms improved dramatically, and I felt like myself again!
Witnessing profound improvements in my own health has motivated me to empower others with personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, enabling them to regain control over their health, too. Having experienced the overwhelm of unrealistic health approaches, I prioritize getting to know my clients and addressing the whole person, not just their symptoms. Together, we create sustainable changes tailored to meet individual goals and optimize health outcomes.
