Aubrey Mast ’12, Master of Public Health, is a nutrition, lifestyle, and health promotion professor at the University of North Carolina Asheville. She has helped create programs that can be implemented across the state to impact health behaviors. Her largest project has been helping develop a website that makes peer-reviewed scholarly research accessible to consumers so they can improve their relationship with food. “Giving people tools to prevent diseases that are accessible at their farmers markets, their grocery stores, and maybe even in their backyards is the most important work I can possibly do,” Mast says.
