My Story

     My passion for nutrition began in high school, when I learned the importance of nutrition while training and competing in football and wrestling.  My love for science blossomed and the field of nutrition was the perfect arena to combine my passion for both sports and science. 

     I earned a B.S. in both dietetics and sports nutrition at Mansfield University of Pennsylvania in 2019, where I also played football for three years. The next year I completed my dietetic internship through Murray State University while living in Louisville, gaining experience in food service, and community nutrition, with a focus on clinical nutrition. I passed my registered dietitian/nutritionist exam in July 2020. 

      I graduated in 2022 with an M.Sc in sports nutrition from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. During my time at UCCS I was able to learn from nutrition professionals from around the world working at the highest levels of sports nutrition including the United States Olympic Center, the Gatorade Sports Science Institute, and the Australian Institute of Sport. I also worked with a primary care clinic on campus in a lifestyle medicine program to improve the health and well-being of community members in this program.
