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 and at the University of Miami Genetics Outpatient Department.  I became a Certified Nutrition Support Specialist and a Lactation Consultant. Furthermore, I got a Bachelors degree in Nursing, and my Registered Nurse License.

​

I always had a passion for sports. I was raised an athlete, and sports brought into my life many of the opportunities I have today. In 2023 I decided to turn MVNUTRITION into a Sports Nutrition based organization! Therefore, I became certified as a Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) and I am also an ISAK Level 2 anthropometrist. Last but not least, I completed the International Olympic Committee Sports Nutrition Diploma and multiple post graduate education programs with Francis Holway. 

​

As I said, sports are a big part of my life, and coming from a professional and NCAA Division 1 college tennis background, now competing in long distance triathlon, I believe that not only I have studied a lot of sports nutrition, but I have also experienced a lot of the issues my athletes may encounter, bringing theory into context, and allowing me to understand a little bit more the challenges active people might experience. 

 

This year we moved into TEAM SPORTS! We brought in amazing dietitians and a great multidisciplinary team to continue to provide active people with a place where they can get integral and comprehensive care, they feel supported, but most important, they learn how to bring sports nutrition theory into practice. Not only to boost performance, but to maintain health and build a healthy relationship with food and body image!
