After a long and winding journey that took her through honorable service in the active-duty military, a BS in the life sciences, and work in globally recognized industry, Tiffanie is pursuing her interest in the older person through the study of diseases such as Alzheimer’s (AD) that affect the mature population in disproportionate numbers. She is currently conducting research into the physiological, molecular, and biochemical nature of aspects related to AD. “I’ve always been curious about what the next stage of life will bring both physically and psychologically and have been able to explore this through both my lab work and courses.”
