My Qualifications

I have always been enthusiastic about Nutrition and Fitness.

From a young age, I participated in dancing, swimming, tennis, volleyball and athletics. My interest about the effects of foods on the body begun at the age of 10, with lycopene and its’ importance for skin health. Later, I researched antioxidants for improved memory to help me perform better at school. Through conversation about university, I learned that I can study ‘dietetics’, and realised that I had a passion I wanted to peruse. 

​

Clinical Dietitian

Outside of private practice, I have worked as a clinical dietitian at South East Regional Hospital (Bega) on the hospital wards and in the community setting. My role included identifying and educating about nutrition related physical findings. I have experience working on the Medical, Surgical, Rehabilitation, Neurological, Stroke, Renal wards. Working as a generalist dietitian allowed for the discovery of dietetic interest areas. These include Metabolic Syndrome, Eating Disorders, Gastroenterology and the Gut Microbiome. 

Fitness Professional

To compliment my interest for fitness, I completed a Certificate III and IV in Personal Training. This enables me to better understand client training habits and goals. I can advise on whether their actions are aligned with their goals and tailor their nutrition plan accordingly. Understanding and encouraging movements contributes to a holistic approach to their health.
