I started my nutrition career at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and then the Deaconess-Beth Israel Hospitals in Boston – both Harvard University affiliated teaching hospitals. As a research coordinator at The Center for the Study of Nutrition and Medicine, I specialized in critical care and obesity under the mentorship of the late George Blackburn MD, PhD and Stacey Bell DSc. In the early 90’s, my research experiences took me to Germany on scholarship to study parenteral nutrition in Bone Marrow Transplant patients. Upon moving to Pennsylvania , I taught clinical nutrition at the college level and then opened up a Pediatric Private Practice called Nutrition for Kids, Teens and Families, which I ran for 12 years outside of Philadelphia receiving Best of Philly 2010 and Top 10 in the Nation Most Outstanding Dietitian Award by Todays Dietitian Magazine. At this time, I served as a media spokesperson for Dietz & Watson Inc., in Philadelphia. As my children grew into adulthood, I transitioned into Culinary Nutrition, teaching children and adults cooking classes and organizing creative culinary events at the Wayne Art Center. Today, I work with clients to help people like you to optimize digestive health via nutrition counseling, cooking and communications.
