About

I am a Pediatric Dietitian with a private practice in Rhode Island.  I’ve been practicing dietetics since 2003 and I’ve been in private practice since 2007.  I believe that a healthy diet is vitally important to every person and that it is more in reach than some people think.  I know that when families start eating better and moving more they become not only healthier, but happier too!

I always try to practice what I preach. My daily diet consists of lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.  My main sources of protein are nuts, peanut butter, fish and lean meats.  I love putting healthy foods in my body because I take the phrase “you are what you eat” very literally!  But I am human and I do eat ice cream, chocolate cake and creme brulee – all in moderation!  My activity of choice is running.  I find running challenging and freeing, plus it’s so easy to just lace up my shoes and get out the door.  I don’t need a gym, no special equipment and I can run any where I am!

I have had to lose over 30 pounds, myself, so  I know what it feels like to need to lose weight.  I know how much work and dedication it takes and I know what a challenge it can be to maintain a healthy weight once it’s achieved.  I hope my journey to be an inspiration to others.
