Bio/Research
My expertise is in the area of nutrition education for limited-resource audiences that is designed to prevent obesity and chronic disease. I lead the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program for New York State and provide program leadership for Cornell Cooperative Extension's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program--Education. I have been active in national leadership for both programs. My research is closely integrated with the outreach provided by these programs. We have recently been named a Regional Nutrition Education Center of Excellence, funded by USDA National Institute for Food and Agriculture and the Food and Nutrition Servies. The signature research program for this center is to investigate the additive effect of skill-based nutrition education in combination with changes in policy, systems, and environmental changes, designed to make healthy choices easier, on nutrition and physical activity behaviors in low-income populations.
