Dr. Fry's research focuses on optimizing micronutrient status to support recovery after musculoskeletal injury and hypertrophic response to resistance exercise training, especially in older adults. Dr. Fry is a nationally recognized expert in clinical nutrition education. She is a program accreditation site visitor for the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). Dr. Fry has also developed clinical nutrition questions for the national registration examination for dietitians (RD exam) and has conducted exam bias review for the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). She enjoys teaching students about nutrition building in real-world clinical perspectives. Dr. Fry is also an avid weightlifter and gardener.
