Biography
I am an occupational therapist with expertise in qualitative and mixed methods, caregiving, aging, and nonpharmacological approaches. My work is informed by occupational therapy and science, disability studies, rehabilitation science, gerontology, psychology, and nursing. My research program examines the quality, access, and outcomes of patient- and family-centered care approaches across the care continuum. This line of inquiry includes quantifying contemporary care delivery utilization and practices and their relationship to the desired outcomes of patients and family caregivers, as well as evaluating approaches for enhancing the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based programs and services.
