Biography

I am a nursing educator and researcher specializing in community health nursing and complex caregiving dynamics. My research focuses on co-dependency as a structural factor in elder abuse and its conceptualization within an addiction framework. I have extensive experience working with community-based professionals and developing practical approaches to difficult caregiving cases. My work aims to bridge addiction theory and elder care practice, contributing to the development of innovative intervention models for vulnerable populations.
