I'm a nutrition specialist at DAP Health, and my passion lies in supporting women during and after their pregnancies. Early in my career, I worked with the WIC Program, where I saw firsthand the importance of nutrition in underserved communities. Many women I've met find nutrition topics confusing or even intimidating. That's why I'm dedicated to helping them feel confident and informed throughout their pregnancy journeys. 

What I appreciate most about working at DAP Health is the meaningful relationships I build with our patients. By offering tailored, evidence-based advice, I guide individuals in making informed choices about their nutrition, ensuring not only their own health but also the well-being of their babies. Understanding that everyone's nutritional needs are unique, I'm committed to being a reliable resource, connecting them with local food options and supporting their overall health goals. 

FUN FACT 

I spend my free time enjoying my two dogs, cat, wife and toddler who has a non-stop desire to learn the world and try all foods. I enjoy family walks, zoo visits, and supporting Padres baseball.
