I am the Executive Director of 1N5 a local nonprofit that provides mental health prevention education to schools, community organizations, and corporations. This is a personal mission for me to normalize the conversation about mental health.

World Mental Health Day was established on October 10,1992 by the World Federation for Mental Health. It is observed each year to provide an opportunity for those working on mental health issues to talk about their work and what more needs to be done to make sure people have access to mental health care. WISe strongly believes in the importance of mental health and is one of our eight pillars of health. Below are WISe vetted resources for you to checkout. Find more on our website here.

As Director of Nutrition, I lead Kroger’s Food as Medicine team, touching all things where food and health intersect. My team builds the Food as Medicine products and services for customers and patients, including OptUP® (Kroger’s nutrition rating system) and our telenutrition service. I also lead research efforts supporting the value of Food as Medicine and contribute to various policy efforts.
