Katrina completed her undergraduate program at Ryerson University, now known as Toronto Metropolitan University. She has completed her Masters of Applied Nutrition at the University of Guelph, as well as a Leadership Program with the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies.

Katrina started her career in the food industry developing flavours and food ingredients. During her internship, she enjoyed her clinical placement in Long-Term Care the most. Eventually, she felt that her skill set would be best utilized as Registered Dietitian working with older adults. Katrina transitioned her career as a Consulting Dietitian in Long-Term Care. Here, she has found her passion, connecting with older adults in meaningful ways, especially through food!

She continues to champion for a liberalized approach and for quality of life when contributing to programs and policies that affect 3500+ residents across the province of Ontario.

Katrina loves a quiet afternoon tea - sipping on earl grey, enjoying dainty, delicate sweets and savouries. After all, she is a big believer that we enjoy our food with our eyes first. She has many afternoon tea venues and is always looking for recommendations.
