Taryn Orava
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Co-Organizer of COSM 2014
I became involved with the Canadian Obesity Network in 2009 at Dalhousie University and attended COSM 2010 at the University of Ottawa where I was lucky enough to win top prize in the Masters division for poster presentations. Since them, I have held a position as the national executive secretary (2011-12), Vice Chair (2012-13), founded CON-SNP UW (2012), attended CON Bootcamp (2013), and am now coordinating COSM 2014 at the University of Waterloo June 18-21, 2014.
