Project manager

Bridget is a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in public health from the Gillings School of Global Public Health at UNC-Chapel Hill. She joined the Global Food Research Program team as a research assistant after several years working in community health centers as a public health nutritionist. She enjoys learning about all things food-related, and with the Global Food Research Program is constantly discovering new things about foods and drinks available in the United States.

My least liked food is… Brussels sprouts.

My favorite food for fall is a baked Sweet Potato with cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar.

The first thing I learned to cook was Chili! When I was 3 or 4 years old, my father taught me the secret ingredient to his delicious chili – after I was in on the secret, I loved to join him at chili cook-off competitions and help cook and sell to the judges.
