Born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico, I have always been passionate about nutrition and leading a healthy lifestyle. I also enjoyed writing and decided to get my first degree in Creative Writing. As time went on I realized what I really wanted to do with my life was teach nutrition, so I went back to school and became a Registered Dietitian. I am especially passionate about Diabetes and enjoy helping people realize they can take control of their disease by eating right. Diabetes is a disease that can be controlled through diet. This puts the patient in control of their disease and I love teaching people how to do just that! I feel very fortunate to be able to work for Mountain Park. Our integrated health model allows our patients to be treated from multiple perspectives of care.

I come from a big family and am very close with all of them. I love spending time with my husband and two recuse dogs and doing anything outdoors! My favorite activities include wakeboarding, snowboarding and visiting my family in Mexico.
