I am a Senior Lecturer in Nutrition in the School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences. I completed my PhD at the University of Adelaide; my research investigated the combined effects of omega-3 fatty acids and aerobic exercise on cardiovascular risk factors. In 2007 I commenced a Postdoctoral Fellowship in the USA at the Pennsylvania State University, where I conducted numerous controlled clinical interventions primarily in the area of cardiovascular nutrition. My current research focus is on increasing our understanding of the role that diet plays in modulating risk factors for chronic disease. I have an Honours degee in Human Movement, a Masters in Dietetics and am an Accredited Practising Dietitian.
