Research
Research Overview
- My research focuses on improving palliative and hospice care for older adults with serious illness and multiple chronic conditions, particularly heart failure and dementia. Using stakeholder-engaged approaches, I study clinical decision-making surrounding symptom management, medication use, caregiver support, and care planning near the end of life. My dissertation examined hospice care among individuals with co-occurring heart failure and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and identified substantial uncertainty regarding medication management and other aspects of care. Building on this work, I aim to develop and implement stakeholder-informed frameworks and interventions that support complex decision-making for patients, caregivers, and clinicians. My long-term goal is to become an independent investigator focused on improving person-centered, evidence-based care for older adults living with serious illness and multimorbidity.
Teaching
Teaching Overview
-
My teaching experience spans both undergraduate and graduate nursing education. At New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing, I served as an Assistant Adjunct Professor and taught Introduction to Palliative Care to both bachelor’s and master’s nursing students. In this role, I developed and delivered content focused on serious illness communication, symptom management, interdisciplinary collaboration, advance care planning, and person-centered approaches to care for individuals with serious illness and their families. Teaching provided an opportunity to translate evidence into practice and foster the next generation of nurses equipped to provide high-quality palliative care across healthcare settings.
My educational philosophy emphasizes the integration of clinical expertise, evidence-based practice, and compassionate care. I am particularly passionate about mentoring students and trainees interested in aging, serious illness, and palliative care research. Through formal teaching, research mentorship, and interdisciplinary collaboration, I strive to help learners develop the skills necessary to address complex healthcare challenges facing older adults and their caregivers.
As I pursue a career as an independent nurse scientist and academic leader, I hope to continue teaching and mentoring at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I view education as a critical component of advancing the field of palliative care and am committed to training future clinicians and researchers who will improve care for older adults living with serious illness and multimorbidity.
Service
Outreach and Community Service Activities
- The Towers My service activities reflect a commitment to advancing care for older adults through professional leadership, community engagement, and organizational governance. I currently serve as a Board Member for The Towers in New Haven, a senior living community dedicated to supporting older adults across the continuum of aging services. In this role, I contribute to strategic planning and organizational initiatives that promote the health, well-being, and quality of life of older adults. I also serve as Chair of the committee overseeing the Adult Day Center program, where I work with organizational leadership to support programming, quality improvement efforts, and services that enable older adults to remain engaged in their communities while providing support to family caregivers. 2025 - 2026
- Hospice and palliative Credentiualing Center I serve on the Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (ACHPN) Examination Development Committee through the Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center (HPCC). In this role, I develop, review, and evaluate certification examination questions to ensure they reflect current evidence, clinical practice standards, and the competencies required of advanced hospice and palliative care nurses. Through this work, I contribute to maintaining the quality and rigor of national certification standards and support the ongoing development of a highly qualified hospice and palliative care workforce. 2024 - 2026
- Deans Leadership Committee I served on the Dean’s Inaugural Leadership Committee at New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing, where I collaborated with faculty, staff, and student leaders to plan and coordinate events that fostered engagement, connection, and a sense of community across the College. Through this role, I helped develop programs and activities that brought together students and faculty, promoted dialogue and collaboration, and supported the Dean’s vision for an inclusive and connected academic environment. 2024 - 2025
- Adult and Aging Research Collaborative I served as Chair of the Adult and Aging Research Collaborative (AARC) at New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing. In this role, I coordinated and organized programming designed to foster collaboration and community among faculty, students, and researchers with interests in aging, serious illness, hospice, and palliative care. I planned and hosted guest lecturers and research presentations, facilitated opportunities for scholarly exchange, and helped create a supportive environment for interdisciplinary collaboration. Through these efforts, I contributed to strengthening the aging and palliative care research community within the College of Nursing and promoting engagement around emerging research and clinical issues affecting older adults. 2022 - 2023
