Peta is currently the Nutrition lead for Paddle Australia including the lead to the Tokyo 2020 olympics, also consulting NSW Rugby League and Jillaroos. Although tremendous involvement in elite sporting teams, this is all managed along side her private practice and regular corporate presentations.

This is what makes her stand out against other dietitians.
