    Biography

    My education background includes a BS degree Home Economics/ Foods & Nutrition, Montclair State University (1975), a dietetic internship, University of Arizona Medical Center (1976), a MS in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, University of Arizona (1977), and a Doctorate of Education Leadership (Ed.D.), Saint Mary's University of Minnesota (2002). My doctorate research focused on leadership behaviors/styles of entry-level dietitians. I am serving on a national committee of the American Dietetic Association, designing leadership training for dietitians. Current research efforts include a collaborative effort with the University of Akron and Summa Health Systems. We received a grant from the Ohio Board of Regents Research Challenge Program, December 2004. Our proposal, Improving Patient Clinical Outcomes and Health Care Costs Using Innovative Nutrition Interventions In A Multidisciplinary Chronic Disease Care Team, is being studied using the Chronic Care Model with patients having Type II Diabetes Mellitus. I am also in a nation-wide collaborative study exploring ways to improve management of chronic diseases utilizing the Chronic Care Model. I am a licensed, registered dietitian with practitioner experience in a variety of settings. My primary role at KSU is Dietetic Internship Program Director of the Combined MS/Dietetic Internship Program. I also teach in the nutrition & dietetics programs.
