My name is Leslie and I am your local pediatric dietitian! I graduated from UCONN in 2016 and completed my dietetic internship in 2018 through Wellness Workdays Dietetic Internship, which gave me the opportunity to work with numerous organizations in New England. I love the science of nutrition and exploring how what we eat impacts every aspect of our health. I take a realistic approach to eating healthy, and I get satisfaction from helping my clients meet their health goals without sacrificing the enjoyment of food. I believe that life is about balance, and maintaining a healthy diet is no different!

I have a strong background in pediatric nutrition and breastfeeding support. Healthy habits begin at birth, and I like to give parents tools to help their children have a solid foundation. Currently, I am working as a Registered Dietitian in a long-term care facility to gain experience with patients that have more complex nutrition needs.

Areas of Interest: pediatric and child nutrition, pregnancy, breast feeding, worksite wellness.
