About Me
And my Passion for Nutrition
With a deep passion for nutrition, client care, and nutrition education, I bring a strong skill set and professional background to applied nutrition. I received my Certification in Nutrition Coaching from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in early 2023 and have been a practicing coach ever since. I received my Master of Science in Applied Nutrition (MSAN) from the University of New England in mid-2024, with a concentration in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, to work with women experiencing hormonal and endocrine issues to help manage weight through healthy nutrition and health processes.
As a dedicated and compassionate coach with excellent communication skills for motivation, I envision a fulfilling career in nutrition. I will always strive to put 100% effort into positively influencing the clients I work with throughout the journey of building my career in applied nutrition and health coaching. It has always been a core value of mine to help people, which is the main reason I want to work as a coach: to motivate clients of all kinds.
