I'm currently a Dietetic Intern at Oregon State University. I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin where I studied Spanish and Psychology at the University of Wisconsin. My interest in health and nutrition began while working on children's health and family counseling at Head Start, where I realized the importance of early childhood nutrition. I returned to school to study nutrition and earn a Master of Public Health at the University of Wisconsin. My professional interests include chronic disease prevention, healthy food access, health disparities, and child and maternal health. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, eating, hiking, biking, sailing, stand-up paddling, and long walks on Oregon beaches.
