I am an educator, researcher and dietitian. 

 

I'm passionate about delivering authentic and engaging education to improve the health of the population and planet.  This passion comes to life in my teaching in the Bachelor of Nutrition at Swinburne University of Technology. 

 

As a researcher, I'm highly experienced in coordinating human clinical studies for investigating bioactive compounds in foods for the benefit of human health.  I'm also interested in research for improving education, as well as nutrition in food systems and public health.

What’s the difference between Easter egg chocolate and regular chocolate?

With Easter around the corner, you’ll have seen chocolate Easter eggs on supermarket shelves. Maybe you’ve bought some already.
