Rebecca Wolfe graduated with part time Data Analytics Cohort 7. You're often told as a kid that you should pursue a career in whichever class is your favorite. My favorite classes were lunch and math. After spending seven years as a dietitian, I decided it was time to give math a try. At NSS, I've been sufficiently challenged and reminded of my love for learning. As a pediatric outpatient dietitian, I used data and evidence-based interventions to help children with complex medical conditions. I look forward to utilizing these skills along with my recently developed data analytics skills to help healthcare organizations make the best decisions in order to provide the best care. When I'm not working, you can find me playing violin/fiddle, playing volleyball, hiking, attending concerts, and traveling.

If you grew up in the early 2000s, you might remember the American push for True Love Waits, abstinence only-sex education, and purity rings being sported by celebrities like Jessica Simpson or the Jonas Brothers. Known as Purity Culture, this Protestant evangelical movement emphasizes sexual purity through abstinence… but beyond sex, how has the culture shaped how women understand their bodies, experiences with food, or informed the broader American diet culture? My guest this week is Rebecca Wolfe, who is currently a doctoral candidate in the department of Social and Behavioural Sciences at UCSF. She is interested in the intersection of race, class, gender, religion, embodiment and eating disoders. Her current work is focused on the impact of the Protestant, Evangelical movement known as “Purity Culture” on the development and manifestation of eating disorders in people assigned female at birth and raised within the movement.
