Mikayla grew up in the Seattle area where she developed a love for the outdoors, staying active and great food. She grew up in a very active and fairly health conscious household and became interested in the field of nutrition in high school when she started noticing how her diet impacted her performance in sports.

Her academic journey led her to California State University, Chico where she majored in Nutrition and Food Science followed by her dietetic internship and Masters in Nutritional Sciences at Texas Tech University. In 2018, Mikayla relocated to Sacramento to embark on her professional journey as a dietitian, a move that has kept her rooted in the area ever since.

She enjoys spending her time with her family and friends and prefers to be outdoors whether that’s biking or running, or even just strolling through the farmers market. If you need a restaurant or coffee shop recommendation, she keeps a running list of her favorites and always new places that she wants to try.

She’s joining us with a wide variety of experience as a dietitian from clinical nutrition, counseling and content creation. She loves to help others find joy and ease in choosing nourishing foods in a way that works best for their health and lifestyle.
