• Community nutrition: Using participatory approaches to develop effective community nutrition programs; exploring issues related to food security locally, nationally, and internationally.
• Nutrition education: Developing targeted nutrition education programs and evaluating their effect on health behaviours and outcomes.
• Nutrition ecology: Exploring strategies to promote nutritious diets within the context of sustainable food systems.
• Psychosocial aspects of human nutrition: Exploring dietary attitudes, food choice, nutrition-related stress, and their associations with body weight, body composition, and other indicators of health.
• Scholarship of teaching and learning: Critical examination of active learning strategies to identify, test, and refine methods to increase student engagement and enhance learning in the context of undergraduate education.

I am committed to creating engaging learning opportunities using a variety of active learning approaches, including problem-based learning (PBL) and community service learning (CSL).
