Biography

Biographical Statement

I am an expert in clinical nutrition and management as it applies to the field of dietetics and health care settings. Areas of interest include the nutrition care process, nutrition support, medical nutrition therapy and process improvement. I am also interested in health care management of resources (staff, insurance issues, regulation), particularly in the acute care setting. As Director of the Didactic Program in Dietetics, I assist students with the pursuit of a career in dietetics. The program prepares students for application to supervised practice programs, ultimately allowing the student to obtain the credential of Registered Dietitian (RD).

Administrative Responsibilities
As Director of the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD), I oversee the undergraduate program in Dietetics, ensuring that the program complies with the Commission on the Accreditation of Dietetics Education (CADE) requirements.  I am pleased to meet with students who may be interested in pursuing a career as a Registered Dietitian and can advise students on how to fulfill dietetics requirements at Cornell.  The Dietetics Program at Cornell also provides guidance to students who choose to apply to supervised practice programs (Dietetic Internships).
