Biography

My research focuses on the relationship between nutrition and health in Canadian young adults. I am exploring how beliefs about chronic disease risk, specifically osteoporosis, affect how young adults make decisions about their food.   I am interested in understanding the motivation behind young adult consumption patterns and the ways in which they define and give meaning to nutrition and disease concepts, as well as explore how they internalize and apply information about chronic disease risk.
