Job Responsibilities

I provide individualized, evidence-based nutrition care to support overall health and wellness. Through comprehensive nutrition assessments and one-on-one counseling, I develop care plans tailored to each patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and goals. It is my goal to empower patients with practical, sustainable nutrition strategies.

What excited me about working in the Recreation and Wellness Center?

Working with students is incredibly rewarding—they bring fresh perspectives and energy, and I value the opportunity to support them during a pivotal (and often very busy!) time in their lives. I enjoy working closely with other healthcare providers at the Wellness Center to support students’ physical and mental well-being, allowing us to provide comprehensive, high-quality care.

Hobbies

I enjoy all the outdoor activities Colorado has to offer with my two young boys, my husband, and our dog. In my free time, I love cooking and baking, listening to audiobooks, and cheering on all the Colorado sports teams.
