With a diverse skill set in hospitality, research and clinical, Jessica is excited to share her passion of food and nutrition with staff and students here at Queen’s University. 

Jessica holds a Master’s degree in Applied Nutrition and a Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Guelph, which included a semester in Melbourne, Australia. Jessica also completed a diploma in Food and Nutrition Management and is an Allergy Certified Master Trainer through AllerTrain.

Jessica is dedicated to making the food on campus more delicious, nutritious, sustainable and easier to navigate for those with dietary allergies and restrictions.  She looks forward to meeting students across campus and helping them build lifelong healthy habits.

As a hospitality employee, Jessica’s confidential nutrition appointments are limited to students eating on campus. However, she is happy to discuss the many food service options available on campus with you.
