Public Biography
I am an acute care occupational therapist and project scientist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. I earned my clinical doctorate in occupational therapy from Washington University in St. Louis. At WashU, I was a graduate student researcher for three years in the Participation, Environment, and Performance Laboratory under the mentorship of Dr. Susan Stark, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA, FGSA. There, I conducted research on occupational therapist-led home modification interventions for preventing falls and promoting functional independence among community-dwelling older adults. My research interests include interdisciplinary team-based models of geriatric care and using health information technologies to improve interdisciplinary care coordination, clinical decision-making, and rehabilitation care for older adults.
