I’m thrilled to share some exciting news—I am officially stepping to a new role as a DJF

Nutrition tutor! As someone who’s benefited so much from Dana’s mentorship,

guidance, and resources throughout my career journey, I couldn’t be more excited to

take on this role and help others reach their goal of becoming a registered dietitian. Listen to my interview with Dana on episode 188 of Dietetics with Dana!


About Me

I started my career in the entertainment industry after earning a degree in

communication, but I quickly realized it wasn’t the right path for me. During college, I

had my own health journey that sparked a passion for nutrition—one that only grew

stronger over the years. When I decided to change careers, I spent a year and a half

completing my prerequisite coursework at my local community college before attending

Boston University’s DPD/MS/DI program.


During my first semester at BU, I came across an Instagram post about Dana’s

internship program and applied—never imagining I’d be stepping into this role three

years later! Since joining DJF Nutrition, I’ve collaborated with Dana to refine the brand’s

visual aesthetic, revamp the website, and design engaging social media content.


Throughout my program, I gained experience as a diet tech at Spaulding Rehab

Hospital, worked with an oncology app start-up, served as a teaching assistant for MNT

1, and completed my dietetic internship at five sites across the greater Boston area.

Today, I split my time between two roles: I work full-time at the Boston University

Sargent Choice Nutrition Center, where I see students for nutrition counseling, teach

cooking classes and demos, and collaborate with BU Dining to improve ingredient

transparency in the dining halls. I also work at DJF Nutrition with Dana, helping future

RDs (like you!) access high-quality RD exam tutoring so they can achieve their goals

and pass the RD exam!


Why Tutoring Matters to Me

As an RD, I know firsthand how tough the journey to becoming a dietitian can

be—especially when it comes to the RD exam. It’s intimidating, stressful, and can shake

your confidence. I was in your shoes not long ago, and I’m here to help you approach

this final step with patience, empathy, and the support you need to build confidence,

pass the exam, and achieve the goal you’ve worked so hard for over many years.

As I step into this role, I’m excited to help students and interns feel empowered and

prepared for their next steps. Whether it’s passing the RD exam or developing the skills

they’ll need in practice, I’m here to help them succeed.


A big thank you to Dana for trusting me to join her amazing business, and to all the

students I’ll have the privilege of working with. I can’t wait to get started and be a part of

your journey – no matter how big or small!
