    MY EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND TO BECOME A REGISTERED DIETITIAN

    • Masters Degree in Nutrition Science from Syracuse University
    • Certified Dietitian Nutritionist by New York State Office of the Professions
    • Registered Dietitian by the Commission on Dietetic Registration
    • Dietetic Internship at Syracuse University
    • Bachelor's of Science Degree in Nutrition & Dietetics from State University of New York, College at Oneonta

    MY JOURNEY AS A REGISTERED DIETITIAN

    For a long time I thought I was on the track to medical school, I had a little doctors kit that I loved to take care of my mom when she got sick. I remember dreaming of joining the peace core and doctors without borders. I wanted to make a difference in the world.

    But I also had a pull towards food. You know life gives you hints about the path you should be on. Every Saturday morning I would wake up early before everyone else was awake. In the kitchen I would quietly pull pots and pans out of the cupboard to make everyone pancakes and treats.

    One day I discovered the field of nutrition, where science meets food and I knew in my heart this is what I was meant to do with my life. I went on to get my bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics, never once thinking about switching my major.

    After that I worked in the field, with women infants and children and it really opened my eyes to the day to day struggles many of us endure. I consider myself so lucky to not only have access to education, but really access to food, to basic shelter.

    I went on to complete my master's degree in nutrition and path to sit for the registered dietitian exam. After I earned the "MA" and "RD" titles after my name I started working in the field, first with the elderly, then in private practice.

    But something was missing.. something big was missing. I knew I was in the right field but the little girl in me said, I want to make a difference in this world.

    REGISTERED DIETITIAN AND FOOD BLOGGER

    Shortly after I got my Masters Degree, I met my now husband, who from day one encouraged me to follow my path. I quit my job and started working harder than ever on my blog, wanting to forge my own path, my own corner in the field of Registered Dietitians.

    I am one of the lucky, who, thanks to my incredible husband, does not have to worry about going to work. Unlike most mothers, I don't have to worry about dropping my daughter at daycare and working 40+ hours a week. I have the opportunity to do what I want with my education. What I love and what I am passionate about.

    Now, I’m able to stay home and share my knowledge with the world, showing that healthy eating can be fun, joyful, and full of flavor. I believe that living a long, vibrant life begins with the food we eat—and I’m passionate about proving that healthy food can taste just as delicious as it is nourishing.

    Over the years, I’ve done extensive research on our food system—delving into the quality of our soil, where food comes from, and the additives that often sneak their way into what we eat. My mission is to help bring food back to its most natural, healthy form while making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

    Through my blog, I hope to inspire others to embrace healthy living and to rediscover the simple joys of eating real, wholesome food. Together, we can make healthy living a lifestyle that is not only sustainable but also truly delightful.

    "There is no enjoying the possession of anything valuable unless one has someone to share it with."

    Own less,

    Enjoy more.
