Margaret is a Dietitian, Research Fellow and Teaching Associate with the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food, at Monash University. She co-ordinates two units in the Master of Food Science and Agribusiness, delivering the food, nutrition and human health content. Margaret’s teaching is a culmination of her interests in nutrition, health and sustainability, and considers the global challenges facing our food system of delivering a healthy and sustainable diet for all. This includes a collaboration with the Sustainable Nutrition Initiative and use of their DELTA Model as a teaching tool.
Margaret specialises in coordinating nutrition-focussed human clinical trials, both postprandial and long-term interventions. Her research focuses on investigating the health (e.g. antioxidant, mood-altering) impacts of bioactive compounds (e.g. phytochemicals, process-modified protein) in food, and includes a collaboration with the Fraunhofer Research Institute, in Germany. Margaret has successfully co-supervised an honours student and numerous undergraduate placement students, and is looking to take on co-supervision of PhD students.
Previous research of Margaret's focused on investigating the self-esteem of adolescents participating in weight management programs, and developing an updated framework for Aboriginal and Indigenous health education at Monash University. Margaret's work has resulted in numerous publications and presentations at local and international meetings, as well as several competitive awards and travel grants.

A role in which she organised events and communications for ECRs and contributed to and chaired several committees.
