Partner outreach, event and social media communications.

Barb Sheldon is the Communications Coordinator for the Regenerative Alberta Living Lab. Her more than twenty years of food expertise come from stringent academic research and scholarship in the area of food dignity, ecology, education and leadership. Her private nutrition practice has supported thousands of clients across the globe from Canada to Italy to Thailand to the US, and her boots-on-the-ground culinary training has allowed her to serve and cook with everyone from communities struggling with food security to high end restaurant clientele, to corporate leaders needing optimal health support to maximize extraordinary, inspired leadership. Her graduate work focused on leadership within food literacy education program design for the LGBTQ2S+ youth community. During her 15 years of clinical practice, she focussed mainly on nutrition and culinary education from a local food perspective, educating the public on the stories and statistics of local farms and farmers.

As an educator, she has taught nutrition and holistic culinary education at the college level for the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, University of Calgary, and countless hours of food literacy to children and youth. Barb is a trained Holistic Chef, Nutrition Educator and holds a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from Royal Roads University.
