Professional Interests:   I am interested in conducting both qualitative and quantitative studies in areas of concern to older adults and therapists who work with them. I maintain a clinical practice seeing older patients with a variety of problems. My teaching interests are focused in geriatrics, health promotion/illness prevention, psychosocial aspects of care, and health care delivery systems. For more details, please review my curriculum vitae.
