Education

Projects

The foundation of my formal education consists of a Master of Science degree in Mathematics & Computer Science from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, with a minor in Counseling from Metropolitan State University. I built on that foundation to complete coursework for a Registered Dietitian credential by earning a DPD certificate at the University of Northern Colorado and finishing my Dietetics Internship though Andrews University.
