Director-at-Large |

As a leader within our profession, I strive to think strategically about situations and future planning. I am dedicated to the roles of the dietitian nutritionist and dietetic technician registered as well as our professional organization to aid in embracing the changes yet to come. When faced with a decision, I frequently bring up the "other side" to ensure we are viewing the issue from all perspectives. I appreciate organization of facts, tasks and plans, which is frequently apparent in my well-outlined communications. I have served as a mentor, manager and leader for many - always seeking ways to showcase the work of others on the team. |
