As a dietitian and health enthusiast I am passionate about helping people feel their best through optimizing diet and lifestyle habits. I have struggled with my own health issues, which inspired me to share my knowledge and expertise to help others. My philosophy is that diet is one piece of a complex web of factors influencing health, which is why I use a holistic approach. 

 

I earned a bachelor of science degree in nutrition from the University of Minnesota as well as a bachelor of arts in elementary education from the U of M Duluth. I spent five years teaching 4th graders and another nine years working with teens and young adults on job skills. Since earning my registered dietitian credentials, I have been working in a long term care facility where most people are over 70. This unique combination of experiences has helped me develop the skills to relate to a broad range of people.

 

I started Pro Active Health because I believe that when we feel our best, we’re empowered to give our best to others. When we’re at our best, everyone wins.
