I have been with SUNY New Paltz since September 2013 and feel so lucky to have landed here. I am a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, I did my graduate and undergraduate studies at in Nutrition and Dietetics at SUNY Oneonta. I am also Holistic Health Coach, trained at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. My personal wellness journey has been a long and winding road, and as I tell everyone I work with, the process is beautiful but it is not linear! Through all of the ups, downs, and experiences gained I have developed a passion for wellness, indescribable zest for life, and true love for acting as a guide for others on their path. On campus I work a variety of capacities, spending much of my time doing one on one counseling with students, faculty and staff on nutrition and wellness. I also facilitate two wellness related student organizations, develop programming for our student athletes, work with campus sustainability and closely with dining services, as well as with students to put on programming for residence halls and various organizations. I am on our employee wellness committee and Farm to SUNY team. The main tenants of my practice are bio-indivudality and a truly holistic approach: I treat every person as the unique individual that they are and realize there is no one size fits all solution. I treat the whole person - mind body and spirit - meaning I go beyond just food to cover all of the factors that influence our well being. My office is located in Hasbrouck Dining Hall on the second level and I'm on campus 5 days a week. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like to work together!
