Bio:

Ashleigh Jones is a recent graduate dietitian from Griffith University on the Gold Coast.  Since graduation she’s enjoyed having a varied workload, splitting her time between private practice at the Health + Diabetes Centre in Brisbane and corporate work with Corporate Nutrition Melbourne in the Brisbane/Gold Coast area.  She has most recently added a Brisbane MyGene clinic to her workload and is very excited about the future of nutrigenetics.

Ash’s main areas of experience are weight and diabetes management however she has a keen interest in food sensitivity and has been working with more experienced dietitians to improve her own knowledge in this area.  Because her work takes her all over South East Queensland, Ash has been utilizing her travel time as an opportunity for catching up on food and nutrition news as well as networking online.  Her iPhone gets her through lengthy train rides, and her twitter account gets quite the workout during the afternoon commute!  As an avid blog reader she’s looking forward to the challenge of generating new online content and learning about how things work behind the scenes.

Ash believes that the key to living a healthy and active lifestyle is to make it enjoyable, and in her free time she’s a keen netballer, runner and an amateur aerialist.  She hopes to one day master  the aerial silks, and on particularly hectic days she has considered running away to join the circus.
