Background
I have been a RD and member of AND for over 40 years, and live in Sarasota, FL with my husband. I received my BS degree in food science and nutrition from Colorado State University and my MPH degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Michigan. I have been a nutrition consultant for skilled nursing facilities and a clinical dietitian in acute care and home healthcare. I am co-editor of the 4th edition of Nutrition Care of the Older Adult, and executive committee reviewer for the 2024 revision of the Standards of Practice and Standards of Professional Performance for RDNs in Post-Acute and Long-Term Care. My career included employment in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps; a private practice in San Francisco; and a specialist surveyor for the California Department of Public Health. I was a writer and provided input into Federal nursing home regulations (OBRA).
