She developed a weight management program for children entitled Food and Fitness Insight Training for Kids (F.F.I.T. for Kids), which she taught at a local fitness facility. She has also developed and led supermarket tours for teachers and other groups interested in learning how to navigate the aisles for optimal nutrition.
