My unique skill is to translate complex nutrition science into information about food that everyone can understand and engage with. As a member of the British Dietetic Association, I adhere to a professional code of conduct, which means I work with integrity and can provide credibility to your campaign.
Nutrition Consultant
I have extensive experience working within the NHS, public health bodies and government
departments including the Department of Health, DEFRA and OFSTED.
Working with Brands
I have worked in many capacities with a wide range of different brands including radio days and live events. I can provide content and quotes for press releases and I am always willing to react quickly to media opportunities, whether journalist interviews or live television appearances. I am also able to develop and test recipes, provide nutrient analysis and write scientific reviews relevant to your product.

Education and Training
I have developed and ran training schemes from large organisations to small independent companies; most notably I developed the Level 1 Nutrition qualification for the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health. I have accumulated many hours of teaching time including university lecturing. More recently I have provided training for influencer briefings.
Working with Charities
I am proud to have supported a number of charities including:
