Dietitian (PhD), Griffith University

My vision is to communicate relevant, science-based nutrition messages to the public in a straightforward way. Providing research credibility and expertise, I work towards bridging the gap between nutrition science and the practical implications for what it means for someone’s health.

Through my current research, I am working towards improving the management of people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Australia. I have an active research collaboration with The Healthy Primary Care team at Griffith University investigating how diet quality changes over time after diagnosis with type 2 diabetes. I am also an Australian Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD), active media writer for www.theconversation.com and a nutrition communicator at www.sproutjournal.com. In 2021 I received my PhD from Griffith University. I also have a Bachelor in Nutrition and Dietetics with First Class Honours from Griffith University and a Bachelor in Mass Communication (majoring in International Journalism and Public Relations) from the Queensland University of Technology.

If you have a project you would like to discuss with me (whether it be scientific writing, online articles, website content or a research opportunity), then please get in touch at e.burch@griffith.edu.au
