Hello!

Hi, I’m Andria, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist specializing in pediatric nutrition. I grew up on Bainbridge Island, just outside of Seattle, and developed an early appreciation for health, food, and community.

At age 12, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), an experience that sparked my interest in health and nutrition and ultimately shaped my career path.

After completing my education and training, I began my career as a pediatric dietitian at Seattle Children’s Hospital—the same place I was diagnosed nearly 14 years earlier. Since then, I’ve worked with a wide range of patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and I’m deeply passionate about supporting children of all ages and their families with compassionate, evidence-based care.

I live in Bend, OR with my partner, our cat, and dog. I love to cook, host friends for dinner, try new coffee shops and restaurants, read, and spend time outdoors with friends and family.

My coffee order: Maple oatmilk latte (hot or iced)

How I’m spending my free time: Pottery classes, a curling league with friends, choosing new recipes from one of my (many) cookbooks

What I’m reading: Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
