Julianne’s journey began on the field, where she competed in sports growing up and noticed early on how food impacted her performance. That experience, paired with her love of cooking and baking, planted the seeds of a career that now helps shoppers eat well, feel great, and love what’s on their plate.

From Rutgers to Real-Life Impact

Julianne earned her Bachelor’s in Dietetics from Rutgers University, a Master’s in Nutrition Education from Montclair State University, and completed her Dietetic Internship through Iowa State University. Her career took root in retail because, as she puts it: “What better spot to educate people about food than when they’re shopping for it and it’s top of mind!”

Helping Shoppers Reimagine What Healthy Looks Like

Julianne thrives on helping customers break out of food ruts. Whether they’re navigating a new diagnosis or just looking for fresh ideas, she encourages them and offers practical, joyful solutions.

“So many people stick to what they’re used to… They’re so grateful when I show them all the opportunities for nutritious, great-tasting food!”

It’s not just about what you can’t eat—it’s about what you get to enjoy. She helps shoppers see food as an opportunity, not a limitation.

Julianne’s Spring Snack Strategy 🌷

🧺 “Think of snacks as ways to add to your daily nutrition.”

She recommends combining 2 food groups to make snacks more satisfying and balanced:

• Hummus + veggies

• Fruit + nuts

• Yogurt + berries

Simple, seasonal, and snack-worthy!

Her Most-Asked Question: “Can You Make Me a Meal Plan?”

Julianne gets it all the time—but her answer is refreshingly real.

“There is no one-size-fits-all meal plan… Instead, I sit down individually with people, finding out their nutrition needs and wants.”

It’s all about customization and flexibility, so changes actually stick.
