Geneva received her BS in Dietetics at UC Davis in 1996 and went on to complete her Dietetic Internship at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston.  She knew immediately during her rotation at Boston Children's Hospital that she would pursue a career in pediatric nutrition. A few years later she realized that goal by joining the PENS (Pediatric Endocrine & Nutrition Services) team with Sutter in 2001 to specialize in pediatric diabetes education as a CDCES.  Geneva has continued in this role for the last 22 years and has expanded her passion to include working with families to improve or restore the feeding relationship, to explore whole food plant-based food choices they love to lower insulin resistance, to navigate managing an ever-changing diabetes landscape with new diabetes therapies/technology and to support children and their families during the many challenges that diabetes presents over the years. In her spare time, Geneva enjoys home DIY projects, organizing anything and everything, trying new recipes, riding her bike with friends, taking long beach walks, and finding any excuse to connect with others and find laughter in her day.
