Alessandra Anderson, MS, RD

As a registered dietitian at SHIFT, Alessandra helps Members understand how nutrition can support the way they want to feel, perform, and live. She strives to create a space where food is valued for both its nutritional benefits and the many roles it plays in our lives. 

Alessandra is passionate about helping Members find an approach to nutrition that balances nourishment with flexibility, connection, and enjoyment. Guided by this philosophy, Alessandra works alongside Members to identify where nutrition can make the greatest impact and translate evidence-based recommendations into practical changes that fit their lives. By encouraging curiosity over perfection, Alessandra helps Members build confidence in their food choices and make informed decisions that align with their long-term health goals.

Alessandra earned her Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Southern California and her Master of Science in Nutrition from Boston University. Prior to joining SHIFT, she worked as a campus dietitian at Boston University, where her work spanned individual nutrition counseling, culinary nutrition, education, and nutrition communications. Her background in communication remains an important part of her work, particularly in her ability to make complex nutrition concepts clear, approachable, and relevant for Members. 

Outside of SHIFT, Alessandra enjoys watercolor painting, knitting, figure skating, tackling creative projects, and bringing friends and family together around the table.
