Support Group Facilitator
Experience
I have always had an interest in food, cooking, and nutrition. I cherish the warmth of cooking at home with loved ones, the sense of community formed over shared meals, and the excitement of trying new restaurants in town. A few years ago, I went back to school to get my Masters in Clinical Nutrition and am currently pursuing clinical hours for the CNS credential under supervision with various established CNS professionals versed in eating behavior and disordered eating. I have gained experience running Meal Support Sessions through Project Heal.
Education
Undergraduate Degree – University of Notre Dame: Accounting

Philosophy
Continuing aligning with our true values and practicing self-compassion will help lead to a positive relationship to food.

Interests
In my free time, I enjoy reading (fiction and health/wellness), cooking, running along bodies of water, hiking (in Marin!), enjoying a hazy IPA, hanging out with my little dog Jojo, and spending time in all the beautiful SF parks.
