Main Line Nutrition & Fitness

I completed my training at Penn Medicine, where I focused on personalized nutrition counseling. This type of counseling does not end after a 1-hour session. Personalized nutrition counseling is an ongoing relationship which allows me to consult on a wide range of issues. The next step was receiving my certification from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. To earn the certification, I had to meet the following requirements: 1.) Have a bachelor’s degree or higher qualification at a regionally accredited university or college in the U.S. 2.) Have the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) or the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics accredit or approve their coursework. 3.) Complete 1,200 hours of supervised practice through an ACEND-accredited practice program. 4.) Pass a national examination that the Commission on Dietetic Registration administer. 5.) Complete continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration. My experience is not limited to clinical nutrition and disease states and assisting clients with weight loss and fitness goals. I also have experience with adolescents and adults in sports nutrition. I am currently the Head Tennis Coach and Team Dietitian at Devon Preparatory School in Devon, PA. I have helped our team to the pinnacle of performance and winning the Boys Doubles Pennsylvania Championship in 2021. At such a high level of tennis skill, nutrition and fitness are what put us over the top. I have also counseled young men with weight gain to avoid injury in contact sports like varsity high school basketball and lacrosse. My sports nutrition experience is not limited to adolescents. I have assisted adult athletes realize their performance goals through a robust nutrition program coupled with individualized training. For example, I recently was able to assist a client in shaving strokes off his golf game and he is now playing his all time best.
