University of Alberta Summer Research Intern

2020 - 2020

Authored a paper entitled "Popularity of Nutrition Influencers and Products and Services Promoted on Their Websites" to the University of Alberta Library. I conducted my research under Dr. Melissa Fernandez and Dr. Kim Raine as part of the WISEST Summer research program in the summer of 2020. My research focused gathering data on the influence of nutrition influencers and categorizing the products and services available on their website. This research is the foundation for imperative studies that will help public policy makers determine how to regulate online nutritional content in a way that promotes public health. My research is currently being presented at various academic nutrition conferences by Dr. Melissa Fernandez.
