About Andrea

I have been a Registered Dietitian/Licensed Nutritionist for 20 years.  I earned my undergraduate degree in Public Health Nutrition from UNC- Chapel Hill and my Masters Degree from UNC- Greensboro.  I hold a Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management from the American Dietetic Association.  In addition to holding a national registration, I am licensed in both North Carolina and Florida.  I am an avid reader of journals and web sites relating to nutrition and weight related topics.

I have worked as a clinical dietitian at UNC Hospitals, as a Corporate Dietitian, in private counseling, and have trained graduate level dietetic students.  I often participate in local health fairs and have been asked to write articles for company newsletters and  local papers. Each experience has allowed me to see food and nutrition in unique ways. 

As a native of Florida, I grew up with fresh fruit and vegetables being available all year round.  As children, my sister and I  played outside every day and family activities always involved outdoor events, usually water related.  I thought everyone lived this way.

When I moved to Chapel Hill, NC, for college, I learned differently.  Fresh fruits and vegetables were limited to what was in season or what the grocery had shipped in from far away.  Activities for a portion of the year had to be indoors or in the cold weather. 

This move allowed me to experience a different living environment and I found new ways to stay active and eat the right foods. As the years, and birthdays, have passed I have needed to adjust my approach to eating. These experiences have taught me to be creative in many ways.

I hope to bring this creativity to our counseling sessions. I am always looking for new information and strategies to help my clients achieve their goals. I want to work with  you to find balanced lifestyle changes that you will be able to maintain for life.

I will not tell you what you can or cannot do, but I will listen to you.  If you love chocolate, we will work it into your plan.  Do you hate vegetables?  There are many creative ways around this, too.  We will work together to find a realistic, sustainable plan for your lifestyle and personality.   

I often tell my clients that if an approach or change cannot work for them in their day to day life, it will not work at all.  We collaborate to find the right balance for you. Whether you are a working person, empty nester, single mom or college student, there is a plan for you.  I am looking forward to being your coach and dietitian.
