My professional interest is in working collaboratively
with colleagues, students and community partners in creating a healthy
environment on the University of Oregon campus, so the healthy choice is the
easy choice. This is accomplished by
looking at our environment and creating policy to impact change. Tobacco-free 2012 is an example of these
efforts.
Personal
I was born in Oregon and do not anticipate living anywhere
else on a permanent basis. I love to travel to other countries, cook meals
using produce from the Farmer’s Market, share meals with friends, garden,
exercise, listen to music, read and play.

Registered Dietitian since 2006
Employment
University
of Oregon; Dietitian since 2009
At the University, I work with students from a variety of life-circumstances to
help them make better food and lifestyle choices. I focus more on food behaviors and
perceptions about food than BMI, and I take a mindful and practical approach to
my client interactions. My clinician
style has been termed “laid-back” and “non-intimidating” by students. I have professional interests including
reducing food-insecurity among UO students, and increasing opportunities for students
to find and enjoy affordable healthy choices on campus and in the community,
and the Health at Every Size concept. I
am also dedicated to continuing my journey of multicultural competence.
In my personal time,
I take pleasure in cultivating my own fruit and vegetable garden. I also enjoy hiking, backpacking, road
cycling, yoga, reading, and experimental cooking and baking.
