The overall goal of her research program is to address the needs of older adults to promote aging well in their communities. Her research program has three interrelated themes: 1) the use of cognitive engagement approaches to promote cognitive health; 2) the use of technologies to promote aging well in the community and 3) to understand the impact of age stigma in the care of older adults. I am particularly interested in working with older adults facing neurocognitive disorders and their caregivers. She has a growing interest in participatory research methods and the co-development of activities with stakeholders in community-based settings.
