Doctoral Student
Colorado State University
I am a Doctoral Student in Nutrition at Colorado State University. I have been conducting clinical research for 4 years, with my dissertation focus on infant nutrition and complementary feeding patterns on infant growth and body composition. My research interests include complementary feeding, baby-led weaning, and breastmilk composition. The projects I'm currently working on include the provision of protein-rich foods during complementary feeding on infant growth and gut microbiome, and the introduction of walnuts during complementary feeding on allergy development and the gut microbiome.
