Meet Carmen!

309F771D-B180-48A9-A392-AEAC195F422FAs a registered dietitian, I thoroughly enjoy helping people build and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Experimenting with delicious healthy recipes in the kitchen is a great way to start. By showing people that eating healthy is not always expensive, time-consuming, or tasteless, I believe can make a healthy impact on many lives. Proper nutrition is truly the strong base for a healthy mind and body!

From a young age, I have always been interested in food. I grew up in a very health-conscious and science-oriented family, which helped transform me into who I am today. Starting in elementary school I attended food preparation classes all the way through college. I always wanted to make a career out of helping people, so by gathering all my strengths and interests, I decided on a career choice in dietetics and have not looked back since! Since graduating with my master’s degree in public health, I am committed to improving the health of my community. I currently work for a non-profit food bank where I am responsible for leading the nutrition education team to facilitate and build skills and knowledge that lead to sustained healthy eating habits in the community through hands-on cooking classes, interactive grocery store tours, cooking demonstrations, nutrition presentations, and other nutrition education outreach events.

This blog is my online collection of my families all time favorite recipes! Thanks for reading!
