PhD McGill University- Area of Focus: Childhood Obesity Family-Based Lifestyle Intervention

MSc McGill University - Area of Focus: Lifestyle Behaviours during Pregnancy

BSc (Dietetics Major) - McGill University

My broad research interests lie in understanding the interplay between different lifestyle behaviours, in particular eating behaviours, as they relate to weight management. My research is patient-oriented and always involves dietitians in the forefront of lifestyle interventions. I work with different populations, including adults living with an overweight condition or obesity and adolescents living with severe obesity. I am also interested in studying different methods of dietary assessment that include mobile applications.
