Personal
Fiona is married to a wonderful Irishman. They have two daughters, who are both young adults. When the girls were little, one would eat anything and everything, and the other was fussy and less willing to try new foods. This experience has helped Fiona understand the practicalities of managing family nutrition needs. Fiona enjoys walking on the beach, gardening and reading.
