Biography

My passion for food and sharing meals with loved ones led me to pursue a BSc in nutrition at Université Laval (Québec City, Canada). During my studies, I worked with various research teams at Centre NUTRISS, where I discovered my interest in dietary public health. I quickly became passionate about researching ways to tackle global public health challenges, such as the rising prevalence of obesity, by creating healthier food environments through policy. My MSc research examined the exposure of children to sugary beverage marketing in six countries with different marketing policy environments. The UK’s upcoming advertising restrictions for less healthy foods on TV and online are seen as global forerunners to improve population health. During my PhD at Cambridge, I will examine changes to marketing strategies following the implementation of the globally novel UK advertising restrictions, which may undermine their public health impact. Findings will help refine UK policy and inform policymakers internationally to develop comprehensive marketing restrictions that can support healthier food environments. I am thrilled to join the vibrant and diverse Gates Cambridge community that shares my vision of leading large-scale change.
