Meet Lara
Hi, I’m Lara, a Registered Dietitian and Personal Trainer. I created For Dietitians to be a resource for dietitians of all backgrounds, and interns too! Whether you’re a private practice dietitian and you’re looking for resources to share with your patients, you’ve been working a traditional role at a facility and you want to step into blogging, or you want to be a media dietitian, but you don’t know where to start.
As a media dietitian, I’ve been interviewed by dozens of media outlets including, NBC News, Women’s Health, and SHAPE.
I run 4 businesses, Omni Nutrition LLC which is my virtual nutrition practice and main food blog, Fork and Lens Studio, which is my Food Photography Business with my best friend Erica, From Ice Cream to Steak, and my new dessert blog Give a Girl a Spoon.
I am also a contributor for Food Drink Life, which is a food, travel and lifestyle online magazine.
In addition to my online nutrition presence, I also have 5 print cookbooks which are available at Barnes and Noble and online at Amazon.
My Background
I attended Florida State University and the University of North Florida for my CADE undergraduate degree in nutrition. I completed my Master’s degree in Science of Nutrition from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida.
Over the past 13 years as a dietitian, I have worked in a wide variety of settings, including Cardiovascular ICU, Out Patient Cancer Center, Hemodialysis Clinics, and Long Term Care Facilities.
