Biography
Born in Canada. Early schooling led to an interest in science and food. It was at the time an obvious choice to study for a B.Sc (Nutrition and Chemistry). A post-graduate year in Montreal followed. My early professional career as a dietitian was in hospital food service. This led to a senior role establishing a food and nutrition department in a new hospital in Ottawa. A move to Australia saw a transition to a state wide role in the NSW Health Department. Another direction followed in the private health care sector consulting to aged care and nutrition education. A MBA degree and a further MA in Gastronomy marked a move into a broader food role in history of nutrition and dietetics.
