I am a registered dietitian based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

 

Raised in an immigrant family, I understood very early on that the healthy enjoyment of food was integral to family life, and, as a young adult, decided to pursue a career in nutrition.

 

After receiving a Bachelor of Applied Science from Toronto Metropolitan University in 1995, I completed a pediatric dietetic internship and went on to practice at the Hospital for Sick Children, McMaster Children’s Hospital and Stollery Children’s Hospital. 

 

In 2012, following a family move, and after taking time to focus on being a mom, I re-entered the profession. In my return, I took courses through the University of Manitoba and graduated from the Manitoba Partnership Dietetic Education Program.

 

In 2015, I joined the team at SSCY as an outpatient dietitian in the Manitoba Home Nutrition Program.  

 

Since 2018, I have been practicing as a consultant and in addition to an ongoing interest in childhood nutrition, I have developed a passion in medical nutrition therapy for adults living with chronic conditions, menopause, and weight management.

​​

In 2022, I made the decision to bring my wealth of experience to the table with the launch of Dietista. 

​

When I am not working on my business or cooking for family and friends, you might catch a glimpse of me running along one of the beautiful trails in Manitoba.
