About Me

Since I can remember I have been passionate about nutrition and a healthy, active lifestyle. After moving across the country to play collegiate soccer I realized that eating whole foods and organic produce wasn't the norm. I quickly became known as the strange girl from California who ate salad for dinner- not the identity you want as a college freshman trying to "fit in". After a few years digressing from the foods I ate growing up, I found myself struggling with stress, digestive problems, eating disorders and depression. After battling these issues personally, I was driven to create a resource to help so many others encountering similar experiences.  I have since founded SanVitum, a wellness company committed to helping people improve their overall health and well being by changing their relationship with food, and empowering them to life the life they want!


I am also a strong advocate of an active lifestyle. As a former member of the Villanova Women's soccer team and a marathon runner and triathlete, I believe in finding balance through physical activity. Prior to starting SanVitum, I was the FitLinxx Coordinator and Wellness Center Supervisor at the Upper Main Line YMCA in Berwyn, PA. My experience as a personal trainer and exercise instructor allows me to work with my clients on their physical activity in conjunction with their diet.

I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. I received a B.A. from Villanova University in interpersonal communications, am certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and currently lead workshops on nutrition, and offer individual health and nutrition counseling programs to adults and adolescents. Additionally my, certifications as a personal trainer, mind-body personal trainer and spin/cycling instructor allow me to provide one-on-one fitness and small group training.
I reside in San Jose, CA and enjoy running, biking, soccer, swimming and cooking! I recently completed the Reykjavik Marathon in Iceland and am working towards completing a marathon on all 7 continents. I have four more to go!

I look forward to supporting you in your success.
