Research Interests/Expertise

“My research focuses on intergenerational community building strategies. Trained as a gerontologist, I study community-based services, therapeutic programming, and research strategies involving a wide range of youth and older adults possessing diverse strengths and needs, such as chronic disease and disability. I collaborate with students, practitioners, and researchers across diverse disciplines. I am a faculty affiliate of the Department of Extension at OSU given my close collaboration with Extension professionals nationally.
