Profile
My name is Colleen McGrath.
I completed my BA in Health Studies and Gerontology at McMaster University (2002-2006) and obtained my Masters in Occupational Therapy from McMaster in 2008. After working in private clinical practice for two years, I attended Western University to complete my PhD in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (Health and Aging) where I completed a critical ethnography on how the environment influences the ability of older adults with age-related vision loss (ARVL) to engage in their daily occupations.
I am presently working as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow for the AGE-WELL TUNGSTEN project (WP 1.2) where I am focused on ensuring that older adults needs, values, and preferences are included within the technology design, development, and commercialization process. Outputs
