Research Interests

My research focuses on the psychological and sociological processes related to successful, healthy aging. I am especially interested in leisure time use and behaviors which facilitate improved health and well-being. I seek to understand the effects of leisure behaviors on stress related to life transitions, especially those experienced during the later life span.

Currently, these areas of interest and research merge in my role at the Center for Healthy Aging where I facilitate opportunities to bridge healthy aging research and its application in everyday life.
