I have spent my career working with athletes and active individuals. I worked as a sports nutrition specialist at Canyon Ranch Resort Spa in Tucson, Arizona; as the team nutritionist in the National Football League for the Arizona Cardinals; and as a member of the Nutrition Division of the Combined Event Athlete Development Project working with male and female U.S.A. Olympic track and field athletes. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Arizona where I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in sports nutrition and food systems.
