I served as a president of the Maryland Affiliates of National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences in 2015. In my role as an educator, I assess the nutrition and health needs of the local communities, create relevant educational programs, and assess impacts. I successfully implemented mindfulness initiatives, youth nutrition education, senior nutrition, and worksite wellness programs. My current research focus is on creating a well-rounded health-based program that addresses overall wellbeing using mindfulness-based approach.
