Hi, I’m Ashley and I’m so excited you took the time to visit my page! I’m a Registered Dietitian, and my career in nutrition began with my love of science and working with diverse groups of people.

After attending an all-girls private school in New York City, I stayed local and attended Columbia University for college. With a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and Hispanic studies, I’ve been very passionate about the intersection of medicine, culture, women’s health and behavior change. I spent many years working in clinical research for prominent hospitals in NYC, and ultimately understood the importance of chronic disease prevention and the role nutrition plays in optimizing health. Hence, I went on to pursue a Master of Science in clinical nutrition from New York University and competed my dietetic internship (clinical training) at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. I’m currently licensed in New York State as a Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist.

At my core, I believe that eating well requires sustainable habits not overly restrictive diets. Optimal nutrition should include embracing cultural foods, promoting physical activity people enjoy, and simplifying an approach to full-body wellness. Particularly, I’m here to support women who have been overwhelmed by diet culture and the impact it’s had on their body image. It’s time to release society’s pressure on what women should look like under the guise of “health” and, instead, celebrate a journey of true, holistic wellbeing.

In my spare time, I love to dance, listen to music, take daily fast-paced walks, dine out with loved ones, travel internationally, spend quality time with family, and get a full night's rest! I recently moved to Philadelphia, and I live with my husband and energetic child.
