A Bit About Me

With a Degree in Nutrition and Post Graduate qualification in Dietetics, Angie is uniquely placed to promote the whole spectrum of good nutrition - from everyday optimal health and well being to a clinical perspective on nutrition and its overlap with disease.

After qualifying Angie spent a decade working in the NHS in order to gain in-depth practical experience of nutrition and how it affects health. Much of her time was spent working in Diabetes, Paediatrics and Public Health settings, providing support and training to a wide range of Primary Health Care professionals. Her Public Health Experience led Angie to realise that her true passion lay in promoting optimal health at all ages and preventing ill-health due to poor nutrition. Scope for this was limited in the NHS and so Angie embarked on a Freelance career instead.

During her freelance years Angie has had the privilege of working with many major food manufacturers, PR agencies, charities and other organisations on a wide range of projects. Angie has worked with Kellogg' in the UK, across Europe, Australia & the USA, writing, publishing, managing & undertaking research projects and supporting digital media projects. Recent projects have included project managing the design and implementation of a pilot research project evaluating vitamin D patches and writing up for publication in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health. Working with Solutions4Health, Angie has overseen the update and design refresh of a Tier 2 Weight Management Programme offered face-to-face, on-line and a supporting app. She also led the content development of the Artificial Intelligence driven app 'Ask Teddi' which supports parents of children from birth to 5 years of age on all aspects of health.

Angie is also a Founder of Nutrition4.co.uk an on-line edcational platform offering on-demand nutrition workshops on a wide range of topics.

Outside of work Angie provides a 'mums taxi' service to 2 ever-growing daughters, and takes the 'its never too late to learn' approach to mastering the piano.
