looking at our environment and creating policy to impact change. Tobacco-free 2012 is an example of these
efforts.

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.
