Personal Biography Statement

I am a Registered Dietitian with a Master's Degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Utah, and a Bachelors Degree (Biology) from the University of Vermont. (That should be a giveaway that I love to ski!) I continue to stay professionally active through my work at Boulder Nutrition and Exercise Services where I provide nutrition counseling for people with cancer and other chronic illnesses. Because of my interest in the role of nutrition and wellness, I have pursued specialized training in Ayurvedic Medicine and Functional Medicine. I enjoy writing, and I'm a published author for consumer magazines, newspapers and natural health books. I have been an Affiliate Faculty member at Metropolitan State College of Denver since 2007.
When I'm not skiing in the mountains I'm hiking and climbing them, coming home to cook for friends and family (husband and two daughters). Lately I’ve been including as many home-grown veggies as I can coax out of my mountain garden at 9,000 feet altitude. (Good thing we don’t live on vegetables alone—and yes, I still go to the store!) I enjoy sharing an exploration of nutrition with students, and I continue to learn more every semester.
