I combine a strong background of education success with a mission to improve food safety and authenticity on a global scale. For 25 years, policymakers at the state, federal, and food industry levels have called upon me to serve as a significant voice in strengthening America’s food policies. Four USDA Secretaries have recognized me for my efforts in food policy in the areas of consumer education, product labeling, and the USDA’s Pathogen Reduction Program. An FDA Certified Food Science Educator, I was appointed twice to serve on the USDA’s National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection.

My research and experiences have captured the attention of government, industry, and university audiences across the country, in Dubai, Spain, and in the UK. The FDA frequently requests my involvement as a keynote speaker at national and regional training events where Ibring my expertise together with my perspective as a voice for consumers to a variety of stakeholders.

I am a columnist and editorial advisory board member for QualityAssuranceandFoodSafetyMagazine.My other media work includes print (such as N.Y. Times, Chicago Tribune, L.A. Times, and Food Quality and Safety Magazine) and broadcast appearances (such as CNBC, NPR, Good Morning America, CNN, and PBS.)
