Elise Reynolds – Open Study/Research Award, Ghana

Elise’s Fulbright research will take her to Ghana, where she will research the diets of schoolchildren and identify where there may be gaps in essential nutrients. Elise plans to use her degree in health behavior and health education to interview kids, record their statements in photovoice workshops, and prepare meal plans that will contribute to the sustained and healthy growth of Ghana’s youth. Afterward, she plans to return to the US to finish her Ph.D. in nutritional biology. Elise hopes to continue her nutrition-oriented endeavors by working with the US government, the United Nations, or another related non-governmental organization that provides aid to those in need.
