Gretchen is passionate for enjoying all foods, and firmly believes eating healthy is eating foods you love. Before working at the Dayton YMCA, she spent three years in the clinical setting, providing medical nutrition therapy to patients at a regional hospital. Prior to her work in the hospital, she spent three years delivering nutrition education and cooking demonstrations to the local community through a regional foodbank. She is a past speaker at the New York State SNAP-Ed Nutrition Conference for her work done at a city farmer’s market. Gretchen has worked with a vast array of backgrounds and a wide range of nutrition needs. A conversation with Gretchen is your first step to not limiting but expanding your diet! A New York native, she spends most of her time outside cycling, hiking, or bird watching with her dog, Marcy and husband, Bret!
