About

I am a scientist, dietitian, cook and science communicator. A lover of books, good food, dogs, wine and travel. A mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend. An avid reader, walker and gym class regular. A Scot, an adopted Australian, a woman, a thinker, a speaker, an educator and a writer. Above all I am passionate about food being a joyful connector between us all, about science providing many of the answers as to how we can achieve the longest, healthiest lives possible, and about finding solutions to the problems we have in feeding the world optimally without destroying it.

As an Ambassador to the Foundation, Jo also successfully conveyed to the audience that the function she MC’d was a fundraiser, with funds raised on the evening indicating the measure of her success. We thank her very much for her contribution to the Foundation generally, and as a fabulous MC and speaker at our recent White Night Gala Ball."

Her pleasant and informed approach was enthralling and she provided vital information with the right mix of humour and examples from her own life experiences.
