Graduated from California State University, Chico in May 2005 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition and Food Sciences. While studying in Chico her passion for educating her community on healthy eating and living grew through an internship working with an Overweight Prevention and Treatment center for kids and their families. There she was able to work with her fellow community members and enter the elementary schools in school districts surrounding Butte County, in Northern California. Always promoting fruits and vegetable and “everything in moderation is okay” is where she found her happiness in food and nutrition. After graduation she returned to her hometown of Irvine, California to pursue her career in Nutrition.  She knew that she wanted to continue to help others achieve a healthy lifestyle through eating right and incorporating physical activity into their daily lives. She joined the Susan’s Healthy Gourmet family in November 2006. She works as a nutritionist assisting in menu planning and development. She also speaks with our customers on a daily basis helping them decide what food choices would best fit their lifestyle needs.
