Born and raised in Costa Rica. I have been a nutritionist since 2014 and I have also been a social worker since 2018, graduated with honors in both careers from the University of Costa Rica.

I have dedicated myself to providing nutritional consultation at the clinical and community level and working with different populations from an inclusive approach to comprehensive health and good living.

I especially focus on helping people improve their nutritional status by addressing, preventing, and treating obesity, chronic diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and emotional management. For the latter, I apply nutritional coaching techniques based on the knowledge of social work applied to nutrition, according to the needs of the user.

I love sports (especially athletics) so I can also help you improve physical performance, body recomposition and preparation for different sporting events such as competitions, funds and marathons.
