Research Statement

As a researcher, I am currently interested in the potential impact of mindfulness based stress reduction for the management and treatment of urinary urge incontinence in older adults as well as for the enhancement of rehabilitation goals for older adults in skilled nursing facilities. My focus is on using complementary, integrative and alternative approaches to treat chronic conditions in older adults. 

I am interested in the impact of gerontological education on students, on the community, and in the discipline itself. Further I am active in the Age Friendly Global Network, successfully secured AFU designation for the University of Utah, and am a Policy Working group member of AFUGN.

As a healthy aging educator, I seek to promote optimal aging across the life course. Aging does not need to be a time of decline but is often seen as such. I am committed to improving ageist attitudes and enabling others to age integratively, seeing aging as a time of growth.
