If you were to ask me to describe myself in one sentence, the first thing I’d tell you is that “I love food.” But it goes far beyond that. I love to cook. I love to eat. And I love thinking about new and creative ways to cook healthy food that tastes great.

As for my background, I earned a masters degree in clinical social work. After spending many successful years in social work, I eventually decided to pursue a career that would allow me to combine my love of food and cooking with my interest in nutrition. In 2002, I successfully completed a cooking program at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and started The Wholesome Table. I received my training to practice Health and Nutrition Coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

At the Wholesome Table, I draw on my love for cooking, clinical skills and knowledge of nutrition to help people balance good food and good taste.
