I am a lifespan developmental scientist, and my research focuses on the promotion of healthy aging throughout the lifespan. My areas of interest include attitudes toward aging and awareness of age-related change, and the influence of attitudes toward aging on health, well-being, and health behaviors. I am trained in measurement development, program evaluation, and advanced statistics. I am currently involved in community-based participatory research projects in which I partner with community members and local professionals to better understand how to promote healthy aging in our community.
