Developing Partnership approaches to improving quality of life in dementia care: Phase Two.
Jessica participated in “A Changing Melody” forum created for people with early stage dementia with the assistance of MAREP and its’ partners.”
“It was a valuable experience to witness its development.” I was involved in many facets of the forum’s organization from participation in the organizing committees, to the creation of a participant distribution list.”
“What I took away from this portion of my work placement was the combined effort and communication necessary to plan, implement, problem solve around challenges and facilitate an international event.”

Musculoskeletal health in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Overall, the experiences I had during my fellowship provided me with the knowledge base I needed to enter my Masters with a foundation in research. The research skills and insights I gained from working with Dr. Giangregorio could not have been taught in a textbook and therefore provided me with a unique opportunity to transition from the undergraduate level to the master’s level of learning, which I could not have acquired in any other way.
