As Professor and Discipline Lead of Occupational Therapy at Edith Cowan University, I am an internationally recognized expert in aged care with a strong focus on promoting wellbeing, meaningful engagement, and social connectedness for older adults. I have shaped aged care policy and practice through innovative research and collaborative projects, cultivating strong national and international networks across academia, government, and industry. These connections enable me to broker partnerships that advance holistic approaches to ageing. My leadership in initiatives addressing loneliness, dementia care, and intergenerational programs reflects my ability to influence systemic change.
