Healthy nutrition during pregnancy can help improve the health of the parent and offspring. My current research focuses on where and how pregnant people receive their nutrition information and how this information affects their dietary choices during pregnancy. I am also interested in the prenatal healthcare providers’ experiences with nutrition regarding their own education and how they advise their pregnant clients on nutrition.

This work has led me to conduct research projects on the current diets of pregnant people in Canada, we well as educational experiences of Canadian midwives with nutrition for pregnancy. Currently, I am investigating the role of Registered Dietitians in pregnancy care as well as barriers and facilitators to accessing their services for pregnancy.
