Embracing Aging A Gerontologist's Journey from Provider to Consumer
I invite you to join me on an exploration of aging that transcends the fear and stigma often associated with growing older. Together, we will navigate the nuanced landscape of aging services, not just as providers or consumers, but as individuals who have stories to tell and legacies to create. I will share insights gleaned from my professional journey, as well as personal reflections that illuminate the joys and challenges of entering this new phase of life.
Other Services
As a retired gerontologist, I have spent decades dedicated to studying the complexities of aging and advocating for a society that respects and values the wisdom of its elder members. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with countless individuals, families, and communities, helping to shape policies and programs aimed at improving the quality of life for older adults. I offer speaking engagements and workshops to small and large groups of providers and older adults. Please contact me for more information.
