Dr Amy Lovell, PhD, Paediatric Dietitian, Starship Child Health, Professional Teaching Fellow, University of Auckland

Amy is a New Zealand Registered Dietitian (NZD) and has recently completed her PhD research within the Discipline of Nutrition, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, The University of Auckland. Her research focused on the area of childhood nutrition and was part of a broader three-year research project called 'The Growing Up Milk Lite Trial - The GUMLi Trial' in collaboration with the University of Queensland. Amy’s specific focus for her PhD was to examine the effect of a nutrition intervention (a Growing Up Milk) on dietary patterns, diet quality, nutrient intake and nutritional status in the second year of life (i.e. from 1 to 2-years-of-age).  Amy is passionate about childhood nutrition and ensuring that children have the best start to a lifetime of eating. She currently has a part time role at Starship Hospital, where she works with children with cancer. She has also developed a particular interest in children that develop fussy eating tendencies whilst negotiating toddlerhood, and as such, have completed the SOS (Sequential Oral Sensory) Approach to Feeding Worksop. Amy has recently taken up a part time Professional Teaching Fellow role at the University of Auckland, Discipline of Nutrition, where she is co-coordinating a new Foundations of Nutrition course and lectures to Bachelor of Science, Nursing and Dietetic students
