Department of Nutrition & Dietetics

Research

Evaluator

I am currently seeking IRB approval for SkyFIT 4 Kids, Parkway Southwest Middle School physical education research on physical activity using trampolines at SkyZONE in St. Louis, MO.

I was one of the Evaluators for the Body and Soul: A Faith-Based Health Improvement Initiative grant, funded through the Department of Health and Human Services/Public Health Service/Office of Minority Health.

Current Interests

My primary research interests are education including nutrition and dietetics education. These interests have led me to study sections of HUN 2201 Basic Principles of Human Nutrition and nutrition courses as part of the general education curriculum in U.S. colleges and universities, for example. Another interest is evaluation research in which nutrition and health-related programs are evaluated using a research model.
