Amber is a PhD Candidate, Accredited Practicing M (APD) at University of Queensland, Faculty of Medicine, Australia.
Amber always knew you cannot treat the body without the mind. So in 2016 when she completed her bachelor and masters in Dietetics with first class honours she was equipped to use food as her medicine. Then she worked as a dietitian for 7 years in medical centres, private practice and teaching nutrition at community college. Then in 2020, she studied a diploma of neuroscience with a minor in psychopathology with the hope to begin her journey as an expert in nutrition and psychology for the brain and habit change. At this point Amber also opened her online nutrition and mental health clinic “The Green Mind Co” in September 2022, shortly before commencing her PhD in improved nutrition care guidelines for MND in January 2023.
Her project is called MINDE in MND: Metabolism, Individualised Nutrition and Daily Eating In MND, under the MEND MND umbrella at the University of Queensland School of Biomedical Science.
