About
I am a Professor and Nurse Practitioner focused on ageing and care for older persons.
Research

I have collaborated locally, nationally and internationally with researchers in continence. As well, I have research interests in hospital care and transitions for older adults, ageism and nurse/student nurse gerontological nursing education.
Teaching
My teaching has focused predominantly in our Nurse Practitioner program
