It’s gratifying to work in an environment that affords the opportunity to innovate and be the catalyst on a broad range of issues. I enjoy the latitude to influence legislation, address consumer issues from a geriatric perspective, and break down ageist biases. It is exciting work that makes a lasting difference.
