Iowa Wolves, Affiliate of the Minnesota Timberwolves

I just completed my third year in the NBA as the Sports Dietitian for the Iowa Wolves, affiliate of the Minnesota Timberwolves. In this role, I work with athletes who are transitioning back and forth between the NBA and the NBA G-League during times of skill-building, rehabilitation and strength training post-injury. I love working with the “underdogs” as they prepare for the big show in the NBA because these athletes are eager to learn and hungry for athletic progression. My work with these athletes includes hands-on education in the areas of designing individualized fueling & recovery plans, developing menus, grocery shopping, food preparation & cooking, food budgeting, weight & body composition management, and many other areas of education.
