Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Blue Bird Day Employee Since 2024

• CPR/First Aid Certified
• Certified Food Safety Handler
• CITI Training

Throughout high school, I developed a passion for working with kids with special needs through various activities including extra curriculars and volunteer work. Early in my high school years, my plan was to get my degree in Special Education until I found my great interest in nutrition and how amazing the power of food really is. I changed my career path to become a Registered Dietitian, but still held on to my love for the special needs population. I have been searching for an opportunity to combine both of these passions of mine, which is why I am really excited to continue my career at Blue Bird Day!

My professional goals including expanding my expertise and getting further certified in different pediatric healthcare competencies as a Dietitian.

Blue Bird Day fosters socialization, sensory regulation, and pre-academic learning in children ages 2–7 years in therapeutic rotations that simulate  preschool and kindergarten settings. Our compassionate therapists practice a relationship-based and family-centered approach, provide parent training, and collaborate on goals and individualized intensive treatment plans for your child.

We believe in a collaborative and multi-disciplinary team approach to therapy.  A team of occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, dietitians, developmental therapists, behavioral therapists, physical therapists, and therapeutic assistants are created for each child to ensure child and family are fully supported and the best possible results are achieved.  

Options for individualized, group and virtual therapy sessions are available as well.
