My Story

 

I was born in Argentina, and I moved to the United States when I was 18 years old. I played professional and NCAA Division 1 tennis. My entire life was planned around the sport and I was always exposed to multiple dietitians because nutrition in tennis, as in any other sport, is key for performance. 

​

When I was 18 years old, I got offered a full  scholarship to play NCAA Division I College Tennis at Florida International University. I played four years of College Tennis and I worked one year as a graduated Assistant Coach for the team.

​

At Florida International University (FIU), I got a double major in Psychology (B.S) with a speciality in Behavior Analysis and in Dietetics and Nutrition (B.S). I further completed my internship at Baptist Health Hospital and my Masters in Dietetics and Nutrition at FIU as well. Right off school, I started working at Jackson Memorial Hospital/Holtz Children's Hospital where I currently work as Pediatric/Neonatal Dietitian.  I become a Certified Nutrition Support Specialist and a Lactation Consultant. Furthermore, I got a Bachelors degree in Nursing, and my Registered Nurse License.

​

I currently cover the Genetics Outpatient Department for the University of Miami. I have extensive experience in managing Inherited Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Ketogenic Diets. This year, I became certified as a Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) and I am also an ISAK Level 1 anthropometric professional. Last but not least, I am currently a candidate for the International Olympic Committee Sports Nutrition Diploma (Class 2023). 

​

While completing all this clinical education, with tennis not been part of my life anymore, and the need to be connected to sports, I started to compete in Ironman races, from short to long distances. While growing in this new sport, I discovered there was a huge nutrition education gap that needed to be filled, and that is how MVNUTRITION started.

 

It started out of that passion to help others, athletes and no athletes to build a better relationship with food, to show them that they can accomplish anything they want, and to create a healthier community.
