My work focuses on how nutrition before, during and after pregnancy, impacts health of females, their children and their families, across generations. I’m passionate about this work because it is incredibly important to people’s health today and for those who are yet to come, and because so little is known about it. I studied at the University of Waterloo, Cornell University, and the University of Alberta during my years of formal training, and have been in Edmonton, Alberta, on Treaty 6 Territory, for close to 30 years, for which I’m eternally grateful.
