Before becoming a dietitian, Annie worked as a chef for 10 years. This hands-on experience in food service has given her a strong, practical understanding of meal preparation, food systems, and the role of enjoyable, nourishing food in everyday life.
Annie currently works across both hospital and community settings, providing insight into clinical dietetics across the continuum of care. She values delivering person-centred, evidence-based nutrition care that fits within people’s busy lives.

“Throughout my career, I’ve come to value the importance of meeting people where they are at. My background in food and hospitality, combined with my clinical training, has shaped a practical and compassionate approach to dietetics.
