I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, with a master’s in public health, and certifications in diabetes education and lifestyle medicine.

I promote a wholistic approach to prevent, manage, or reverse diseases. I currently work remotely for the Loma Linda University Medical Center, at the Diabetes Treatment Center.

My career has also included teaching nutrition classes in universities (both at undergraduate and graduate levels), conducting webinars, telehealth, consulting, writing nutrition-related articles, creating plant-based recipes (including the nutrition analysis and food photography), and performing cooking demonstrations. I have also led hands-on culinary medicine events for medical students and residents at Loma Linda University.

I am passionate about promoting evidence-based whole food plant-based diets (WFPB) that are practical to achieve and combine health with the pleasure of eating.

I am fluent in English and Portuguese and able to communicate in Spanish.
