I am a gerontologist, writer, and community engagement professional committed to advancing the well-being, dignity, and autonomy of older adults. My work spans aging services, dementia care, public policy, and arts-based programming, and I am the founder of Ager Nation, a newsletter focused on issues that matter most to older adults. I am especially passionate about age-friendly communities, aging in place, Medicare policy, and creating opportunities for connection, creativity, and purpose across the lifespan.
