Biography
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, working under the mentorship of Professor Becca R. Levy.
I am interested in aging and mental health topics. Specifically, I am involved in projects related to 1) understanding the effect of social determinants of health in cognitive aging and treatments outcomes in older adults, and 2) the design and evaluation of treatments to improve healthy longevity outcomes in people with dementia and mental health conditions, with an emphasis on non-pharmacological interventions.
