About Me

I have a lot of diverse and international roots, which have given me a ton of adventurous life experiences and travels. I was born in Puerto Rico (yes-I’m bilingual in Spanish and English), raised in Hawaii, spent a year in Spain, and resided in San Francisco for nearly 25 years. Throughout my childhood, we ate international cuisines weekly and celebrated so many different types of holidays, there seemed to always be a fiesta every weekend. I have Croatian, Mediterranean, and Polish influence in my cooking, too.

Traveling is in my blood and I continue to travel as often as possible. I’ve been to almost every continent (except Antarctica, which is on my bucket list).

Through all these experiences, I have a deep understanding of how food brings us together and strengthens our connections.

From my passion for food, family, and fiesta, I built my career as a Registered Dietitian Sports Nutritionist.

I’ve worked with technology firm CEOs, executives, employees, families, and elite athletes providing customized care and wellness programs to help them reach their health goals. I have also worked as a consultant and media dietitian for over 16 years, where I easily connect brands with people.

Building relationships and community is important and I love doing this through food, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle.
