My dissertation research uses quantitative spatial analysis as well as innovative qualitative methods to explore the health and well-being of community-dwelling older adults living with dementia and their care partners, with specific attention to those who have been historically minoritized and underserved. I aim to co-produce knowledge with aging services organizations and older adults living with dementia themselves to improve and modernize dementia-focused policies and programs.
