I am a registered dietitian (RD) and researcher at the BC Cancer Agency (Vancouver Cancer Centre), Oncology Nutrition, in Vancouver, BC, Canada. My areas of expertise for clinical practice, research/publication and education are related diet, exercise, complementary therapies, Natural Health Products, quality of life and survivorship in both breast and prostate cancer (hormone-based cancers). In my role I conduct practice-based research and translate knowledge for patients and develop provincial resources that are disseminated to every newly diagnosed breast and prostate cancer patient in British Columbia.
