I am a registered dietitian (RD, LDN) and have lived in Wellfleet for nearly twenty years. I studied nutrition at Simmons College and following graduation completed a dietetic internship at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (now Brigham and Women’s Hospital). For the next five years I served as a community nutritionist, establishing the WIC program and nutrition service at two Brigham affiliated community health centers in Jamaica Plain. I then enrolled in the Simmons MBA program and began a career in the life sciences industry. 

I’ve spent several decades consulting to scientific and medical teams to support decisions about whether and how to commercialize innovative scientific discoveries. My work focused on conducting in-depth interviews with thought leading physicians and scientists as well as patients, integrating the output with key findings from evidence based scientific publications and presenting insight and recommendations to support company decision-making.  

In parallel with my interest in science and medicine I have always been passionate about food, cooking and nutrition. As a life-long learner I have studied traditional Chinese medicine, functional medicine and Japanese macrobiotic style cooking. I’m a scratch-cook and never tire of creating vibrant, health-giving meals that nourish body and soul. 

As a student of Tibetan Buddhism for several decades, I have experienced first-hand the profound contribution of mind and spirit to health span and lifespan. I am passionate about harnessing my life experience and knowledge to support others seeking to optimize their health. 

I am delighted to work closely with Alison Dwyer to support mind, body and spirit with a variety of programs and service offerings in The Healing Space community.
