I’m a social scientist with a background in psychology. My primary research interests are in the areas of work and retirement, successful aging, and the impact of financial scarcity on behaviour and well-being. My PhD project – entitled “The impact of retirement on life styles and well-being” – focuses on the changing nature of retirement and how the affects the welfare and life styles of older adults.
