I obsess over reality TV and nothing relaxes me more than organizing my closet. My biggest pet peeve is people who are late. When I am aggravated, I sigh very deeply.

I am also preparing to become a CDE (Certified Diabetes Educator) and advance my skills in diabetes counseling and management. Less

More Katherine is a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified diabetes educator committed to helping individuals manage their diabetes, weight, and other nutrition-related diseases. She uses a variety of tools to help people meet their goals - including smartphone apps and fitness trackers.

Nutrition education is important since it empowers individuals to make informed decisions about food intake and ultimately, manage their health. She uses an interactive approach to educate groups and individuals about food, healthy eating, and disease management.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in biology and my master’s degree in nutrition from Cornell University. Her educational experience gave her an appreciation for how science is conducted as well as the knowledge and skill to interpret published studies. The science of nutrition matters - and she believes that safe and effective care must be evidence-based and as free from bias as possible. She does not sell nutrition supplements nor makes money from promoting products or referring clients to products. She uses her clinical experience as well as published nutrition guidelines to guide care.

Her specialties include: diabetes, pre-diabetes, weight control, heart disease, hypertension, Celiac disease, and disease risk reduction. Less
