About Me

I am a Registered Dietitian and Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT).  I graduated from Florida State University with Bachelor’s Degrees in Food & Nutrition and in Exercise Sciences.  I subsequently attended the University of Florida's combined Master of Science - Dietetic Internship program, where my research focus was  sports nutrition in youth.  My professional areas of focus include GI disturbances, food sensitivities/intolerance,  the overall role diet plays in the cause & treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune illness, and nutrient timing in sports performance & recovery.  I am the founder and co-owner of SkyLife Wellness, LLC and “BuiltForThis” athletic apparel and sports wellness company.

I currently reside in Northern Virginia with my husband and 3 children.  In my spare time, I enjoy bible study, researching all things health & wellness, creating new recipes, cycling, running, and being swim mom to 3 active swimmers.
