I am a systematic reviewer, Research Fellow and co-lead of the Evidence Synthesis theme at the Centre for Evaluation. My work focuses on nutrition policies, health equity and evidence synthesis methods for evaluating health promotion policies. I have completed a BSc in nutrition/dietetics at the Université Laval (Canada) and a joint master’s degree in public health at the universities of Sheffield & Copenhagen (Europubhealth programme).
Previously, I was part of the Department of Health Reviews Facility of England (collaboration between LSHTM, UCL and University of York) and a Lecturer in public health nutrition at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. Before moving to the UK, I promoted healthy eating in school, healthcare and community settings as a public health nutritionist/dietitian in Canada using both education and policy/structural interventions. I have also coordinated cancer services for the region of Montreal, Canada.
