Ms. Barbara Troy received her B.S. in Clinical Dietetics in 1976 and her MS in Dietetics/Nutrition Education in 1986 from Mount Mary College in Milwaukee. Her first teaching appointment was in the food service program at the Milwaukee Area Technical College. She later taught for 4 years in the Coordinated Program in Dietetics at Mount Mary College and first began teaching at Marquette University in January 1987. In the 1990s she also taught nutrition courses at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), frequently splitting time between the UWM and Marquette Campus.

Ms. Troy also works as a nutritional consultant in Student Health Services at Marquette University. At Student Health Services, she frequently works with students struggling with weight/Body image issues and with student athletes assisting them in their food selections.
