Biography
Prior to retiring in 2019, I was the Program Leader for Cornell NutritionWorks, an online professional development program for nutrition and health practitioners. As Program Leader I oversaw the content and structure of the website, plus developed marketing and evaluation strategies. For 38 years I was responsible for interpreting and communicating research-based information on food and nutrition issues to extension educators, other professionals, consumers, and the media.
My most recent interests focused on providing continuing professional education to practitioners worldwide using distance technology, primarily in two areas: 1) using policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) approaches to promote healthy eating and physical activity, and 2) maternal nutrition and infant and young child feeding. More information on how to access online courses on these topics currently available can be found on Cornell NutritionWorks.
