I received my BS in Biology/Human Biology/Microbiology from La Sierra University, and a Masters of Public Health and Nutrition from Loma Linda University School of Public Health. Presently, I am a Nutrition Doctoral Candidate at Loma Linda University in the School of Public Health.

Present Research: I am presently conducting a human feeding study, looking at the effects of eggs, DHA eggs, and walnuts in Lacto-ovo Vegetarians. I am also working with Dr. Cordero-MacIntyre at Loma Linda University on the Walnut Follow-up Study.

Past Research: I have done research with liposomes containing a phosphatase enzyme, growth and transplantation of plant tissue callus, growth and maintenance of a rare infantile fibrosarcoma cell line, and determination of ribosomal post-translational modifications of Streptomycin binding sites of 4 strains of E. coli.

 I have co-authored two chapters in Natural Food Antimicrobial Systems with Dr. A.S. Naidu, CRC Publishing. I have also completed a review of the scientific literature concerning eggs for the California Egg Commission and have worked continuously with Kashi Foods for their recipe analyses.

My professional interests include all aspects of food safety, food and culture, research, and designing educational materials and teaching aids.
