Christine Fry is the Policy and Program Associate for the National Policy & Legal Analysis Network to Prevent Childhood Obesity (NPLAN), a project of Public Health Law & Policy (PHLP). PHLP works to help build the capacity of advocates, local public health and planning departments, schools, government attorneys, elected officials, and others to advance their public health goals through policy change. The NPLAN project provides technical assistance to communities around the country that want to use law and policy to increase access to healthy food and physical activity opportunities, with the ultimate goal of reducing childhood obesity rates by 2015.

As Policy and Program Associate, Christine runs monthly calls with NPLAN’s multidisciplinary advisory groups, facilitates the project’s popular law and policy webinar series, and analyzes both nutrition and physical activity policy strategies. She holds a Masters of Public Policy from the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley and a Bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from MIT. Christine has been a pedestrian in every place she’s ever lived: rural South Carolina, Boston, Berkeley, and now San Francisco. The walk from home to public transit every morning and evening is one of the best parts of her day.
