Realizing the importance of food through a family illness, I decided to pursue a career as a nutritionist. After earning my license as a registered dietitian, I worked as a cooking instructor, provided diet guidance, and developed healthy recipes. In 2021, I moved to the U.S., and after gaining weight during life abroad, I began following my own recipes to lose weight. Now, I focus on creating and sharing delicious recipes that can be enjoyed even while dieting—helping others lose weight without stress.
