Why I became a Dietitian:
With my obsession for anything related to food and cooking, a career in dietetics seemed too good to be true! An excuse to think and talk about food all day without washing up at the end? – I am in heaven!

A Bit about Me:
I am all for living life and focusing on the positive in every experience. My Dad always told me “If it doesn’t kill you…It will only make you stronger” and although cliché, that is what I live by. I jump into any experience that is going to challenge me, whether it be experiencing life in different countries and cultures or participating in a sporting event – which at the moment is triathlon!

My areas of interest:
Before anything else, I want to pass on my love and appreciation for good health and lifestyle to others. It can be easy to be overwhelmed with all the fad ‘diets’ and nutrition claims out there, but food doesn’t have to be the bad guy. In good health there is no such thing as a ‘quick-fix’ solution, long-term results come from positive lifestyle choices.

My areas of interest are sports nutrition, weight management, gastrointestinal disorders, group education programs and corporate health.
