About - The Endurance Dietitian

The dietitian who truly understands what it's like to manage diabetes while chasing your biggest athletic goals.

As both an experienced dietitian and an athlete who’s learned from every nutrition mistake possible, I know exactly what you’re going through. My mission is simple: give you the nutrition knowledge and tools you need so fueling becomes effortless, not stressful.

Meet Your Endurance Dietitian

Clinical expertise meets real-world athletic experience

I’m originally from the Florida Keys and earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences from Cornell University, followed by my dietetic internship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center where I discovered my passion for diabetes care through focused rotations at the Eskind Diabetes Clinic.

I’ve been a Registered Dietitian since 2012 and have held my Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) certification since 2016. For over seven years, I served as the sole clinical dietitian for Mariners Hospital, managing both inpatient and outpatient nutritional care across diverse patient populations. I later earned my Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from The University of Alabama.

As a former Division I collegiate runner turned marathoner and Ironman triathlete, I understand both the science and the reality of fueling for performance. Now based in Colorado, I spend my free time hiking, camping, skiing, mountain biking, and fly fishing, always staying connected to the active lifestyle I help my clients maintain.

My Story

How my athletic journey shaped my practice

I started running in middle school and competed in cross country and track through high school and my first two years of Division I college competition. But like many young athletes, I learned the hard way what happens when nutrition goes wrong. I was constantly injured, missing seasons, and struggling with the very issues I now help my clients avoid.

After college, I channeled my love for endurance sports into marathons and triathlons, completing my first Ironman 70.3 in 2016 and Ironman Arizona in 2017, along with multiple marathons, including Chicago (twice), Marine Corps, and Wineglass. These days, I might run one marathon a year while I focus on supporting my clients, though I’m still chasing my dream of running all the World Marathon Majors, eyeing Sydney next!

That early experience with under-fueling and injuries shaped everything about how I practice. I understand the grueling training, the dedication, and the mistakes because I’ve been there. My goal is simple: help you avoid the pitfalls I experienced so you can focus on crushing your goals.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me obsessing over my bikes (Sangiovese, my Bianchi road bike, and Melly, my mountain bike named after Melanzana hoodies, IYKYK, it’s a Colorado thing). I’m also into hiking, skiing, fly fishing, and yes, I know I still need a gravel bike because N+1, always!
