Major Professor: Lindsay Allen
Before coming to UC Davis I received my B.S. in Mathematics from Creighton University and taught Math and Science to gifted students for four years before returning to school. I then received my M.S. in Food Science from U.C. Davis in 2008. I am currently working with Dr. Kevin Laugero on a project examining the relationships between eating/activity behaviors and cognitive function and mood in preschool-aged children. I recently completed work with PHFE WIC analyzing relationships between the cognitive environment and eating behaviors in low-income preschool-aged children. I also hold a special place in my research heart for fruits and vegetables, and am particularly interested in how novel processed fruit and vegetable products play a role in meeting the Dietary Guidelines for these foods.
