As a Crohn’s patient myself, I know first-hand how devastating IBD can be. It is my mission to do what I can from a nutrition perspective to improve the quality of life for IBD patients. I plan to specialize in both adult and pediatric IBD nutrition.

I believe that each day is a gift, quitting is never an option, those I love are closest to my heart, and mediocrity is unacceptable. I plan to apply this personal philosophy statement to my learning in the MSND program, in everyday life, and also when learning about the best evidence-based nutrition interventions for IBD and other health ailments.
