About the Facilitator

Christina Stark, M.S., R.D., C.D.N.
Extension Associate

I am the Program Leader for Cornell NutritionWorks, an online professional development program at www.nutritionworks.cornell.edu. This website provides continuing education opportunities, such as this course, for nutrition and health professionals working in communities. I oversee the content of the website, which includes many additional topics related to obesity, as well as other current food and nutrition issues such as dietary guidelines, trans fatty acids, and genetically engineered foods. For over 25 years, I've been responsible for interpreting and communicating research-based information on food and nutrition issues to extension educators, other nutrition professionals, consumers and the media. My most recent interests include providing continuing professional education for nutrition and health professionals using distance technology.
