Summary

After leaving University of Washington in 2013, I have worked as a health system consultant and research collaborator on projects dedicated to improving detection and care of people living with dementia, with a special focus on primary care and redesigning the supporting role of specialists within health care systems. I currently co-lead the BOLD Center on Early Detection of Dementia, part of the Centers for Disease Control’s initiative to create a sustainable public health infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias.
