I grew up in Aroostook County and earned both my BS and MS in food science and human nutrition from the University of Maine.

Finding a career that aligned with my values was challenging—dietitians are often expected to promote weight loss, something I wanted no part of and knew didn’t work.

Anti-fat bias is deeply intertwined with other oppressive systems, including racism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia, as explored in Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings and Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness by Da’Shaun L. Harrison. As a dietitian specializing in intuitive eating and a Health at Every Size® framework, I see it as my responsibility to challenge these systems in my work.

I help clients develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies, providing compassionate, weight-inclusive care that respects their lived experiences. My goal is to support people in rediscovering the joy of eating and reconnecting with their authentic selves.

Now based in central Maine, I love spending time outdoors—hiking, reflecting, and appreciating nature with my partner and our dog.
