Cooking is one of my favorite ways to connect, create, and care for others. I enjoy developing recipes that highlight locally sourced ingredients and honor cultural food traditions—preserving flavor and heritage while aligning with evidence-based nutrition and modern nourishment goals.

​

Beyond my clinical and counseling work, I’m especially interested in:

• Digital health education that delivers accessible, accurate, and evidence-based nutrition information at scale

• Culturally rooted nutrition interventions that center community needs, lived experiences, and food traditions

• Advancing women’s leadership in healthcare, particularly within nutrition, preventive care, and public health

 

I’m also deeply interested in food as more than fuel. To me, food reflects identity, culture, mental well-being, and social connection—and plays a powerful role in shaping both individual health outcomes and broader systems of care.
