She also completed professional chef series classes and worked with various chefs to enrich her cooking skills.

Anna has many experiences working with eating disorders and weigh management patients and currently working for Kaiser Permanente as outpatient dietitian.  Anna focuses on improving her client’s physical and emotional health by using a non – diet, culturally based approach to meal planning, utilizing intuitive and mindful eating principles. She utilizes lab work to design individualized supplantation protocol since food is often not sufficient to resolve deficiencies.  Cooking and creating new recipes are her passions and she was working as a chef in eating disorder facility before she became dietitian.

She became first a food engineer to realize that processing food is not the way to go and therefore she came back to school to become a dietitian. "There is a process to go unprocessed with food"

Her favorite saying is "More colors on your plate, more colors in your life" and she likes to joke around while teaching making her lectures easier to digest. She pays attention to beauty aspect of food. "Whatever we eat becomes part of us and therefore it needs to be pretty" and practices that by styling her food and taking pictures.

In her free time, she explores new foods and restaurants, practices yoga, runs marathons, travels and hikes challenging mountains.
