Starting in November 2017, I have been writing articles twice/week on critical issues related to aging. From explaining what Medicare covers and doesn't cover to how to choose a quality Assisted Living, from putting into place hospice at home to the costs associated with a cremation, I tackle the most common issues my readers request, as well as those I encounter as an elder consultant.

My writing and documentary work have been featured in the New York Times, Runner's World, Academic Medicine, Huffington Post, News & Observer, Charlotte Observer, on The State of Things and on WRAL.

I taught medical residents and physicians wanting to use documentary to tell patient stories.

I mentored Documentary Fellows as they went out into the field to produce short documentaries highlighting individual stories for a variety of nonprofit service organizations.
