Hello! I am a Celiac Advocate and Founder of Baltimore Gluten Free, an online and in person gluten free community for those in Baltimore and beyond.
I connect with my community by hosting a daily podcast: the Gluten Free News, available on smart speakers like Alexa , Google Home and wherever you listen to podcasts.
As the parent of a child with Celiac Disease and gluten free, I understand the challenges that come with living gluten free for medical reasons. As a Health Educator, I'm passionate about connecting people to vetted information and resources to make those challenges easier.
I frequently work with the University of Maryland Celiac Center and lead two dynamic support groups. Cel-Kids is an activity-based support group for kids living with celiac disease and their families, and the Baltimore Gluten Free Meet Up Group, a social group for adults.
I love to connect with my engaged community by posting regularly on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Since then, I've had the privilege of working with gluten free high school and college students - and colleges themselves - for the past few years around gluten free dining. I've sat in on meeting with gluten free students and schools, talked to students before, during and after college and had conversations with administrators at colleges and universities. The RIGHT questions to ask when:🔸 Connecting with the Office of Student ServicesKnowing the right questions to ask is a key component of understanding
