Peter L. Pellett Scholarship


Ivy Johnson-Kanda (PhD, Nutrition)

Ivy Johnson-Kanda is a second-year doctoral student in Nutrition at UMass Amherst. She is interested in digital interventions that influence diet behaviors in youth. Ivy has a BS in Nutrition and Food Science from the University of Ghana and an MS in Food Science from University of Minnesota. Her previous working experiences centered around Nutrition research in Ghana. In the United States, Ivy worked with college students to impart nutrition education. Ivy also has an MBA from Quinnipiac University. She enjoys spending time with her family. 

Thank you very much for your support and kind donations that have allowed me to receive the Peter L Pellet Scholarship. I am excited and honored to be this year’s recipient. 

I am a second-year graduate student, learning a lot in the Public Health Nutrition program. My lectures are engaging, and the faculty is excellent. I could not have made a better choice to be a part of the UMass Amherst community. By the end of my program, I hope to be an advocate for healthy eating for young children. I love listening to kids share their experiences around food. 

This scholarship is very meaningful to me because it will help me continue with my aspirations and keep me going. I am grateful for your generosity and support.
