Overview
As a medical anthropologist, health services researcher, and certified yoga therapist, my research focuses on improving pain, function, and quality of life outcomes for older adults, women, and veterans through nonpharmacologic and complementary and integrative health (CIH) interventions and care models. I have broad expertise in research methodology related to the design of mixed methods studies in aging, CIH, and implementation science.
