Cancer Nutrition HQ Empowering cancer patients and survivors with evidence-based nutrition I enjoy wearing many hats as a clinician, educator, scientist, and science communicator.

I have over 14 years of experience in nutrition and cancer, including research, higher education, and clinical practice. Education, empowerment, and empathy are at the core of my work. Through my experience, I have seen the critical gap in nutrition support for cancer survivors both during and after cancer treatment. Finding quality nutrition information is increasingly difficult with the rise of misinformation and disinformation. Rather than stand back and watch the problem worsen, I strive to combat misinformation, share the latest research in nutrition and cancer, and translate the science into everyday actions survivors can take to support their health and quality of life with nutrition. I am committed to building Cancer Nutrition HQ to be a hub of evidence-based resources and tools for patients, survivors, caregivers, and healthcare providers. When I am not blabbing about nutrition to anyone who’ll listen, I enjoy weightlifting, traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my husband and two pups in Austin, TX.

I’m always trying out new ways to facilitate learning and help students actually engage with the material, not just sit through a lecture.

Some ideas work better than others 😅

Did you ever have a professor or teacher who did something that made learning especially memorable? What did they do?

I love sharing the nuance and the evidence, but that doesn’t gain traction on social media.

So here’s the TLDR version of the most common questions I get.
