My relationship with food transformed on a high school volleyball court, when my coach connected what we ate directly to how we performed. Something clicked. I began making simple, real changes—swapping restrictive thinking for true nourishment—and felt my energy soar. That realization launched my career as a Registered Dietitian and led me to earn my Master’s in Clinical Nutrition and Performance, working with everyone from D1 collegiate athletes to youth and active adults.

Then came an unexpected turn: a first date at a wine bar with the man who would become my husband. Smitten by his charm—and fueled by a competitive drive to match his wine knowledge—I threw myself into wine study with the same rigor I brought to nutrition. I traveled to regions, met producers, and earned advanced certifications, including WSET Level 3 and Champagne Master.

Intentional Table was built at the exact intersection of all of it: the farm, the performance lab, and the wine cellar. My work brings together evidence-based nutrition, practical cooking, serious wine knowledge, and hospitality to help people feel more confident at the table.

Whether I’m teaching WSET courses, consulting, or hosting bespoke wine and culinary experiences, my mission is simple: to help you pull up a chair to a life where science and pleasure coexist seamlessly.

The table has always been more than a place to eat. It is where we learn, connect, celebrate, and remember.

Welcome to the Intentional Table. I’ve been waiting for you.
