As a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), certified dietitian nutritionist (CDN), and bariatric program coordinator at the NYU Langone Weight Management Program, I am dedicated to providing personalized nutrition interventions to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight. My approach is centered on patient empowerment, ensuring that individuals receive tailored support throughout their weight management journey.
I specialize in weight management strategies for patients undergoing bariatric surgery and in our weight management program, offering comprehensive pre- and post-operative nutrition support. My expertise includes nutritional counseling, behavior modification, and mindful eating techniques, all of which are crucial for sustainable weight loss and overall health improvement.
In my role as the bariatric program coordinator, I work to ensure that the bariatric surgery program meets accreditation standards, and support the development and maintenance of clinical pathways. In this position, I also lead committee activities, participate in quality improvement projects, and foster collaboration across multidisciplinary teams to improve patient outcomes and the overall bariatric surgery program.
With a masterβs degree in nutrition from Brooklyn College, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my role. I have worked with a diverse range of individuals, providing empathetic guidance and effective strategies to ensure long-term success. My commitment to patient engagement and responsiveness is at the core of my practice, fostering strong partnerships and positive patient experiences.
My journey into the field of nutrition was inspired by a desire to make a meaningful impact on people's lives through health and wellness. The opportunity to work closely with patients, helping them achieve their weight loss goals and improve their quality of life, drives my passion for this field. At NYU Langone, I am proud to be part of a team that values coordinated care, ensuring the best outcomes for our patients.
