About Me

I am a graduate from the University of Alberta's Nutritional Sciences program and completed a Dietetic Internship to become a Dietitian. I created this blog because I am passionate about food, nutrition, health and writing.


In my past life I worked as a personal trainer and competed in a Provincial fitness competition. My nutrition philosophy as evolved a lot since those days. I believe that nutrition is more than protein, carbs and fat, and includes everything from how our food is produced to how it gets on our plate.


When I take my dietitian hat off, my other passion is our planet. I run a nation-wide environmental foodservice organization called LEAF (Leaders in Environmentally Accountable Foodservice). When I'm not working, you'll find me being active outdoors, running, hiking or playing tennis. I am also an amateur photographer and love to travel.

10 things I love most in the world (in no particular order):

• My family
• My fiancé
• Dogs (one bulldog in particular, named Ashley)
• Photography
• Sun
• Travel
• Laughing
• The ocean
• Running
• Tennis
