Personal and Campaign Statements

What do you see as opportunities for the future of the nutrition and dietetics profession?

Despite the pandemic disruptions, the Academy has accomplished a lot. Like many other professional organizations, we continue to see a decline in membership and are facing other environmental changes. We must address the challenges and be forward thinking. I will work with the BOD, the Academy entities and committees to meet the needs of our members, address the challenges proactively and help position the Academy to be a visionary organization. I believe my experience coupled with strategic and analytical skills make me well suited for the position. I humbly ask you for your vote. Thank you!
