I am a Registered Dietitian that focuses on education with participants at the PACE program to enhance quality of life and health. I mainly work with diabetes, renal and weight loss education for adults 55 and above doing individual and group education. I also work closely with an IDT that coordinates care for our participants involved in our program making medical decisions to improve their health. It's a well rounded experience where I also get to work with food everyday and helping improve satisfaction with our participants.
