I am a recognized thought leader with twenty years of experience in aging. I hold a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College, and an MPH in Gerontology from University of Illinois at Chicago. I am also a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality. I live in Albany, New York, collaborating easily with teams based in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Boston, MA.

A champion of Age-Friendly ecosystems, I take an asset-based approach to understanding our aging world and the service networks older people rely on. More older adults are alive today than ever before in human history; I see this incredible demographic shift not as a burden, but as an opportunity to shape a more just society.
