Alexandra Potts (Volunteer)

Alexandra has extensive experience in nutrition, both at the clinical level and in public health, and is particularly interested in the intersection between health and food insecurity, and sustainable food systems. She was initially exposed to the negative effects of nutrition misinformation through patient consultations and running nutrition education programmes for teens as a registered dietitian in Canada. Alexandra has worked extensively in communications, combatting misinformation and promoting fruit and vegetable intake in communities in Quebec, before pursuing an MSc in Nutrition for Global Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She now specializes in public health behaviour change programmes through mass media interventions.
