To me, the purpose of technology is to empower us all to live better lives: to make hard tasks easier, to make the inaccessible accessible, and to give us greater choices and the information we need to make those choices wisely.

I've spent over 20 years leading teams developing first-class software, and solving complex problems for businesses around the world. With Proteo, I'm bringing my skills much closer home: into the kitchen as we seek to cook and eat for  our best lives.

I've always loved eating a healthy plant-based diet; and pursuing a healthy diet and lifestyle is something that brings me great satisfaction. My passion for nutrition led me to earn my Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Loma Linda University, California, a vegetarian university. I had the privilege of studying the benefits of a plant-based diet and the intricacies of balancing them for optimum nutrition, with particular regard to protein.

As a mother of two young children, my passion for health and nutrition has taken on expanded meaning. Through Proteo I want to help empower everyone by giving them the tools they need to make the very best food choices for themselves and our beautiful planet.
