I grew up in Lancaster, PA and lived all over the US before settling in Pittsburgh. After college, my interest in cooking, growing food, and health piqued as I worked on a variety of farms. My interest in teaching also grew as I taught cooking and nutrition to children and adults in many settings. I earned a master of science in nutrition and integrative health in 2018 and a post-baccalaureate certificate in health coaching in 2021, from Maryland University of Health.

With almost ten years of combined experience in nutrition education and health coaching, I started Resilient Roots Health Coaching in 2023 with the vision of combining my passions in health, food, and spirituality!

When I’m not coaching or teaching, I love to garden, hike & backpack with my boyfriend and dog Copper, cook, preserve food, dance, play pickleball, or travel.

Shout out out to my supportive partner, Vince, my parents and friends! Without all of you, none of this would be possible. <3
