Biography
I am a Lecturer in Applied Health Sciences, currently leading the MSc Applied Health Sciences programme.
I graduated from the University of Aberdeen with a BSc (Honours) in Health Sciences and an MSc in Human Nutrition & Metabolism. In 2005, I completed a PhD in Nutrition at The Robert Gordon University focussing on the area of childhood obesity.
I joined the Department of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at the University of Aberdeen in October 2003 as a Research Assistant on the SEATON study. I was a Research Fellow in Public Health Nutrition from June 2005 to December 2017 when I moved to my previous post of Teaching Fellow in Applied Health Sciences.
From May to October 2007 I had a part-time secondment to the Food Standards Agency Scotland, Science Branch as a Scientific Advisor (Diet and Nutrition).
