Assistant Professor of Practice
University of Texas at San Antonio
My area of interest is in creating nutrition interventions that cater to the specific needs of older adults, to improve their health outcomes. I am also a Registered Dietitian (RD) and a Licensed Dietitian (LD) in the State of Texas, as well as a Certified Diabetes Education Care Specialist (CDCES). With a diverse background in community, clinical, and food service management, I am currently focused on my graduate research, which involves bridging the digital divide and providing nutrition education to older adults taking part in Congregate Meal Programs (CMP) in Bexar County, San Antonio. My goal is to help improve their overall diet quality and encourage them to engage in physical activity.
