Alexa Gaucher-Holm

I am a registered dietitian, passionate about public health nutrition. My aim is to participate in the development, implementation and evaluation of interventions that incentivize and promote healthy, equitable and sustainable diets at a population level.

After completing my BSc in Human Nutrition at McGill University, I joined Dr Vanderlee's lab (Université Laval) which focuses on all things food environments and nutrition policy. After a year of working as a Research Professional under Dr Vanderlee's supervision, I began my MSc. My MSc thesis, which was submitted in May 2024, aimed to evaluate the structure, commitments and policies of food and beverage manufacturing and retailing sectors in Canada to create healthier food environments.
