​

I knew I wanted to help others within my work since I was younger, but after realizing I am pretty squeamish, found the world of nutrition and felt it was the perfect fit. I attended the Unversity of Kentucky and completed my dietetic internship within the state, getting to explore all the different routes a dietitian can take. I first was introduced to bariatric surgery during this time and quickly fell in love with the community and the transformation that can unfold. I even got to sit in on a bariatric sleeve and hold a stomach - I guess i'm not THAT squeamish! It was fascinating!

 

I look forward to meeting you and being the passenger in this health journey. With Upbeet, you will gain the confidence to reclaim your health.
