In my work, I saw myself as this connector, someone to bring the nutrition and food community together with agriculturalists. While I loved higher education, it felt like the right time to explore food production and agriculture more deeply. I started asking questions to colleagues in the Ag industry, and those conversations opened the door to me working in Ag. In 2013 my students were asking questions about food labeling that led me to do some additional exploration about the topic. For my dissertation I examined the body image of Hispanic females in the context of how much media they were consuming as well as the type of media.Īfter the PhD, the next natural step felt like it should be teaching, and I had a tenure-track professorship-still focused on food, nutrition, and health communication. In terms of education, I got a masters in public health and did my PhD in communication and marketing where I focused on health communication. Writing felt like a better way to reach more people to talk about the healthfulness and joy of good food.
I also wrote as a freelancer for magazines, newspapers, and web sites, and I had a few book projects-all focusing on food, nutrition, and dietetics in one way or the other. Then I studied dietetics and became a dietitian working in hospitals and nursing homes in New York City providing nutrition care and leading clinical nutrition teams. I started out owning a restaurant in Kentucky with my mom. I’ve worked in agriculture for the last 7 years, and I’ve always been a food and nutrition person. In fact, it’s been called a consumption crisis. Nearly no one in the US eats enough fruits and vegetables. I’m a dietitian, so Sensei Ag’s mission is important to me. Thanks!
