Carla was born in the tri-cities of Vancouver and cannot see herself move anywhere else. She loves nature, which is plentiful where she calls home. When not working, Carla hikes with her dog or engages in various fitness activities.

Her journey to becoming a registered dietitian was influenced by growing up in a household where cooking was the norm. As a result, she started cooking at an early age and loved everything about it.

Carla graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2019 and has been busy since. She is a casual dietitian with Fraser Health, working at a number of different sites and centers, and, as a member of Dietitians of Canada, she participates in various advocacy meetings.

Carla loves doing community events such as group education sessions or cooking classes, which she is hoping to incorporate at the clinic.

She is passionate about nutrition education and is always looking for ways to promote it. You can connect with Carla on Instagram at @cashew.carla.
