Research interests
My principal research interests lie in the field of occupational science and older adults. For my PhD I explored Slovenian older people’s experiences of engagement in meaningful occupations and their transition into residential care homes. My future research plans are to explore how residential care homes could maximise the opportunities for engagement in meaningful occupations.
