Short Bio
Dr. Rose is involved in university teaching and dietetics student supervision at the graduate and undergraduate level in Clinical Nutrition, Community Nutrition and Foodservice Management, and is Coordinator of graduate dietetics programs. Her current research interests are mainly focused around the attempts of community organizations to alleviate food insecurity and/or prevent chronic conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, through community kitchen and workshop activities. These include providing nutrition education and opportunities to develop budgeting, food choice, and food preparation skills.
In 2017, Dr. Rose initiated a once-a-month Lunch and Learn program for local older adults, which continues to be offered. This includes a nutrition education presentation, a lunch, and take-away materials, all based on a specific food-related theme, which continued by meal delivery and virtual presentations during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dr. Rose organizes internships in Caribbean community organizations and First Nations communities, mostly in Northern Quebec and Nunavut, providing an opportunity for dietetics students to develop cultural competency skills and make a contribution to healthy living in these areas.
