Highlights, Experience & Education
Diana collaborated with primary healthcare providers in a pilot program to assist patients in adjusting their insulin levels to meet their blood sugar goals.

I enjoy helping other people improve their quality of life, both physically and mentally. Nutrition plays a big role in both physical and mental health, and I find joy in helping people reach their goals and notice a positive difference in how they feel. Nutrition has played a big role in my life, and I enjoy sharing that knowledge and experience with others.
