My Professional Journey

My commitment to the field of health is reflected in my extensive professional background. I hold the esteemed Board Certification as a Nutrition Specialist through the American Nutrition Association, signifying a rigorous commitment to excellence in the field. I furthered my education by obtaining a Master of Science Degree in Nutrition & Integrative Medicine from the Maryland University of Integrative Health, where I gained in-depth knowledge of functional medicine principles and their application in clinical practice. My undergraduate studies encompassed a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Women's Studies from UCLA, providing me with a broad perspective on the social determinants of health and the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

In addition to my nutrition expertise, I am clinically trained in Western Herbalism, having completed a program at the California School of Herbal Studies. My understanding of the powerful therapeutic properties of herbs complements my nutritional counseling, offering a holistic approach to healing. I am also a certified Nutrition Consultant and Health Educator through Bauman College, demonstrating my dedication to ongoing professional development and staying at the forefront of evidence-based practices.

My diverse experiences extend beyond traditional clinical settings. I have served as a Birthing Doula, providing compassionate support to families during childbirth, and practiced as a Clinical Aromatherapist, integrating the healing potential of essential oils into my practice. My past as a natural products formulator honed my understanding of ingredients and their interactions, enriching my ability to guide clients towards healthy choices.

Currently, I am an adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco, School of Nursing and Health Professionals, where I share my knowledge and passion for integrative health with the next generation of healthcare professionals.
