Pediatric Nutrition Consultant and Advisor
If you are a brand, business, organization, educational campaign, or food company ready to optimize your offerings for the infant, child, and family feeding space, let’s chat!
I use my background and work history to help like-minded companies develop food products and nutrition initiatives that improve the lives of infant, child, and family nutrition everywhere.
As a licensed pediatric registered dietitian, single mother of three, and nutrition expert with over 15 years of experience in childhood nutrition, I know what babies and kids need to eat in order to thrive and grow, and I am deeply attuned to the challenges parents face as they strive to feed them.
