I am an educator, researcher and dietitian.
I'm passionate about delivering authentic and engaging education to improve the health of the population. This passion comes to life in my teaching in the Bachelor of Nutrition at Swinburne University of Technology.
I'm also working to improve the way that we communicate evidence-based nutrition information. I do this through my research, with a focus on communicating dietary guidelines, as well as through working directly with the media.
