Profile Summary

I am passionate about nutrition and sharing research to bridge the gap between academia and the public. Specifically, I am interested in how to best share complicated nutrition research into digestible, easy-to-understand formats to improve and optimize human health for a variety of stakeholder groups. Through my studies and industry experience, I've worked to bridge gaps between research and the public health and agri-food sectors. I have extensive experience in quantitative and qualitative research with an interdisciplinary focus. I am a dedicated, hard-working individual who has a strong attention to detail and organization.
