About

Claire is a registered Nutritionist (Public Health) within the School of Health.

I am a Registered Nutritionist (Public Health) with the UKVRN, I have an undergraduate degree in Nutrition, Health and Lifestyles and an MSc in Human Nutrition specialising in Public Health. I am an ambitious, enthusiastic career focused individual. I enjoy working with a variety of people in an exciting, diverse and challenging environment. I thrive on making a positive difference through educating and communicating my own knowledge and professional experiences, with those who look to improve their individual health, workforce health or communities and public as a whole. I hope to inspire others and to share with the population the benefits of a healthy balanced lifestyle and educate on the importance of food and activity in our everyday lives. Passionate about equal mental and physical health.
I am an assessor for UK Voluntary Register for Nutritionists and the UK Public Health Register. Member of Association for Nutrition Council & Charity Trustee. Committee member for SENSE (self employment nutritionist's). I represented academia and the public sector on the British Dietetic Association/Nutrition Society joint working group on public health nutrition career framework.
