Before starting Refresh Nutrition I worked in various clinical hospital settings for close to a decade. I worked, learned and experienced the impact of chronic and acute illnesses on our bodies. I've worked with diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, pediatric and intensive care management. After working in the hospital I realized that there is a need for support outside of the hospital which lead me to open Refresh Nutrition, a medical nutrition therapy practice. I wanted to be a Registered Dietitian that spreads the joy of nutrition, balanced eating and wellness to East Tennessee.
As a wife and mom to three little ones my view of nutrition is functional, fun and feasible for a busy lifestyle. This spans, not just to myself but my family and my clients.
I earned my Master of Science (MS) degree from California State University, Northridge (CSUN). I also completed my Dietetic Internship through CSUN which lead me to earn my beloved title, Master of Science Registered Dietitian (MS, RD).
