Research Interests:

My area of expertise is sports nutrition and I concentrate on research dealing with diet and physical performance. I am also interested in weight gain in college students and young children and will be working with CU-Denver's Center for Human Nutrition on a grant that will look at preventing excess weight gain in 5th graders in the state of Colorado.
