Tanisa Spencer

During her first year of community college Tanisa completed a Basic Nutrition course as an elective for the nursing program this one course led her to changing her major. Growing up in a community where healthy eating wasn’t a topic, Tanisa wanted to change the narrative. Over the years she has learned that you don’t have to give up cultural foods but find ways to make them healthier. Helping patients make sustainable lifestyle changes is what she enjoys the most. Tanisa has been providing nutrition counseling for 17 years.
