About Ascentria:
The SNAP-Ed program provides nutrition and obesity prevention education and school garden programming to youth and adults in Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester Counties who receive or are eligible for SNAP benefits. Our goal is to help individuals make nutritious food choices on a limited budget and choose a physically active lifestyle. Classes and programs are funded and supported by the Massachusetts Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA).
Programs and activities currently provided by SNAP-Ed include nutrition and obesity prevention education single classes, series of classes, workshops, food demonstrations, cooking classes, tabling events and tastings, hands on educational activities and games, grocery store tours, school and community garden builds, planting, harvesting and tasting events, and garden glasses. You can find our team educating individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life from preschoolers to seniors in settings such as schools, senior centers, health fairs, after school programs, farmers markets, food panties, school and community gardens, town/city and private organization spaces.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from Boston University in 2008 and then went on to earn my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2011 from Nova Southeastern University. I then became credentialed as a Mckenzie Certified Therapist in 2017. I have experience working as a physical therapist in multiple settings, focusing on outpatient therapy since 2018. I live in Westfield with my husband and two boys. My husband and I are continually training for triathlons and running races. I look forward to seeing you!
