Research and Professional Interests:

I am a registered dietitian with the Nova Scotia Dietetic Association (NSDA) and hold a membership with Dietitians of Canada (DC). These memberships have presented several past and current opportunities to contribute to and explore my interest in professional development and accountability. I sit on the NSDA Registration Committee, which actively evaluates and makes recommendations for a registration process that ensures Dietitians in NS are competent to practice. At the national level, I have been invited to participate on the DC Professional Standards Committee and chair a subcommittee investigating Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) and its application to dietetic internship. I currently represent DC as an internship accreditation surveyor. That opportunity has taken me to other provinces and given me the chance to see how other internship programs meet national standards. I also currently sit on the editorial board of Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research and am often asked to complete peer reviews of articles for publication. 

Most recently I was invited to present at a SSHRC funded scholarly workshop on Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) held in Ottawa November 2010. The intention of the workshop was to stimulate PLAR research in Canada and identify our contribution to the international research scene in this area.

My research agenda encompasses several aspects of dietetic education as is reflected in the following publications and presentations with a goal to influence dietetic practice.
