I'm a nutrition scientist, academic editor, educator, and writer. I have bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in nutrition science, with graduate coursework spanning biochemistry, human biology, neuroscience, epidemiology, healthcare ethics, and public health. My work examines the ethics of how nutrition and wellness information reaches the public, who it is applied to, and where it shifts from science to supposition.
I have over 20 years of editorial experience. I work with researchers and academics who want to go from dissertation to articles or books, as well as others who need editorial support for grant-writing, literature reviews, and other writing projects.
As an assessment and grading specialist, I provide substantive feedback for student work that frees faculty to lecture and engage with university responsibilities. Learn more about this type of departmental support.
My research focuses on the ethics of health communication to laypersons: how wellness texts, nutrition media, and food-as-medicine narratives speak to people about their bodies, their conditions, and their futures.
My current research includes critical analysis of wellness texts and nutrition research, published at Ethics in Nutrition. I am also developing a public benefit, nonprofit, and privacy-first nutrition assessment program.
For readers outside academia, I write at Factual Wellness, a fiscally sponsored, open access project that breaks down pop-culture wellness myths and reviews nutrition studies in accessible language.
