I am deeply passionate about optimizing metabolic health and helping others achieve their health, nutrition, and lifestyle goals. I started my nutritional journey at UCLA where I majored in Biology, then continued on with a Master’s degree in Nutritional Biochemistry from Tufts University and finally, I received a Ph.D. in Behavioral Nutrition from Columbia University in 2010. I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at Rady Children’s Hospital for 4 years studying the effects of nutrition on infant outcomes and for over a decade as a nutrition scientist at the University of California, San Diego.
