As a registered dietitian at the NYU Langone Weight Management Program, I am dedicated to helping patients achieve their health and wellness goals through personalized nutrition plans. My approach focuses on understanding each patient’s unique needs and creating tailored strategies that promote sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes.

I specialize in treating patients with obesity and those seeking weight loss solutions, whether through medical or surgical means. My expertise includes developing individualized diet plans, guiding patients through various weight loss programs, and using weight loss medications when appropriate. Additionally, I am skilled in assessing body composition to help patients understand their progress and make informed decisions about their health.

My lifelong interest in health and nutrition, combined with a desire to follow in the footsteps of my family members who work in healthcare, inspired my journey into the field of dietetics. My educational background includes earning my registered dietitian credential and obtaining my certified diabetes educator (CDE) certificate. This additional certification allows me to offer specialized care to patients managing both obesity and diabetes, providing a unique and valuable perspective in their treatment.

With more than a decade of experience at NYU Langone, I have seen firsthand how healthier choices can significantly improve patients’ lives. My role involves normalizing patients’ journeys by sharing insights from my own experiences and those of others, fostering a sense of empathy and trust. I collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide the highest standard of comprehensive care and support.
