Annie Murphy has dedicated her career to developing and evaluating nutrition programs for all age groups. Her evaluation approach is to minimize respondent burden by using relevant, respectful, and understandable questions. Involving people from the intended population in item and response construction has resulted in her state and national reputation for authentic and practical evaluation. She particularly loves process evaluation; it is a path to program improvement and to learning what potential participants want and need to know, how they prefer to learn, their barriers and supports for behavior change, and whether the intervention was enjoyable and valuable.
The evaluation team, administrative support, and never-ending opportunities to creatively assess program value and health behavior change has allowed her to become an expert in participant-focused evaluation and strategies to turn data into recommendations to improve program delivery and results.
Murphy was raised in Saginaw by parents who were also teachers that instilled a passion for lifelong learning and commitment to effective education. Her life is a wonderful combination of valuable work, grandparenting, rescuing old or impaired cats and dogs, and focusing on personal health goals.
She received her Doctor of Philosophy in Community Nutrition from the Michigan State University College of Agriculture & Natural Resources Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, her Master of Science in food Science and Human Nutrition from Wayne State University, and her Bachelor of Arts in Education from University of Michigan. She is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
