Portfolio & Case Studies

Real Work. Real Results.

A selection of brand partnerships, consulting engagements, and food systems projects.

What Partnership Actually Looks Like

From feasibility audits to on-camera spokesperson work, here's a look at the kinds of engagements I take on and what brands walk away with.

What Partnership Actually Looks Like

  • A go-to partner for brands and organizations that need a sharp RD who actually understands kitchens, operations, and consumers.
  • Uses 25+ years in corporate foodservice, catering, hospitals, senior nutrition, and hospitality to help teams turn nutrition science into real-world menus, products, and messages that people will actually use.
  • Creates straight-talking, easy to understand content, decks, and proposals to pitch and support partnerships with wellness brands, food companies, and healthcare programs.
  • Takes dense nutrition research and turns it into clear, practical guidance for meal planning, product education, and "what do I eat" decisions.
  • Looks at products and programs through a founder lens: does this make sense for the market, is it easy to use, and will people trust it long enough to stick with it?
