Professional

Professionally, I love www.unf.edu because I spend a lot of time working with Blackboard (Bb), UNF’s course management software that is accessed through the webpage; I use Bb for each class that I teach. I also access our library databases through the UNF webpage and I use these to conduct literature reviews for research articles that are being written or planned for in the future.

I gain a lot from membership in professional associations toward teaching food systems management and nutrition courses; and conducting healthy lifestyle research with physical activity, nutrition education and health promotion components. Some favorites are:
