About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Environmental Medicine (IMM) and the Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society (NVS). I am originally from Canada and have been studying and practicing epidemiology at Karolinska Institutet since 2018. I recently defended my doctoral thesis, which focused on frailty trends and progression, as well as healthcare utilization in older adults with frailty.

Research
My research focuses on frailty in older adults. I am interested in how to best measure frailty, as well as understanding how different risk factors and
clinical events impact trajectories of frailty. Multimorbidity is another research interest of mine. I have looked into risk factors for incident mulitmorbidity as well as the relation between multimorbidity patterns and risk of frailty.
