From NYC to Nashville:
A Journey from Broadcast Journalism to Nutrition Practice
Kimberly was born and raised in Nashville, TN. She moved to NYC after graduating college to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. She lived in New York for a decade with her husband and two dogs, Foxey and Lola. Kimberly recently returned to Nashville with her husband Niq to launch her private practice. She found her path to nutrition in a less conventional way than most RD’s. Kimberly graduated Lipscomb University with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications & Journalism beginning her career in New York working at a major morning news show in the heart of Manhattan.
Turning Career Stress to Nutrition Success
After experiencing the exhausting lifestyle of living and working in NYC, Kimberly struggled with IBS and weight gain. With guidance from a registered dietitian, she abandoned yo-yo dieting and discovered the value of balanced nutrition, which ignited her passion for cooking healthy recipes and using exercise to relieve stress. This inspired a career change, leading her to earn a Master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York Chiropractic College. Today, Kimberly combines her media background with her passion for nutrition, sharing health and wellness education across mass media platforms, including regular appearances on Dr. Oz as well as television, radio, and podcasts.
Fun Fact:
Kimberly was an NFL cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans and New York Jets organizations. She witnessed first-hand the need for balanced nutrition as a professional dancer and now works with NFL cheerleaders across the country as a nutrition educator and media spokesperson.
