About me

  • Investigator at the Stockholm Gerontology Research Centre, former Marie Curie
    Fellow, recent PhD, occupational therapist, singer, committed to improving
    participation and inclusion in everyday life.
    Hello, I am delighted to be affiliated to the CACTUS research group for
    teaching and research following recent defence of my PhD funded predominantly
    through a Marie Sklodowska Curie fellowship with the Interdisciplinary
    Network for Dementia Using Current Technology (INDUCT).
    As technology changes and becomes ever more prevalent in society, my doctoral
    thesis investigated how technology acts as both a barrier and facilitator in
    the daily lives of older adults living with and without dementia in Sweden,
    the U.K. and the U.S. I have a particular interest in ensuring stakeholder
    involvement and co-creation across the whole research process (often
    referred to as Patient Public Involvement, or PPI), and in the rural context
    for participation. Please do check out this five-minute video summary of my
    thesis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJhRRg2ugO8
    My current Vinnova-funded position with the Stockholm Gerontology Research
    Center delivers practice-focussed research and organisational development
    with an emphasis on the consequences of digitalisation to participation in
    society.
    I teach on a casual basis within the undergraduate occupational therapy
    programme and I use my strong arts background in my approach to building
    engagement when I deliver seminars, lectures and workshops.
