Judi Bonilla-
Hi, I am Judi Bonilla.I offer consulting services on the topic of aging. Currently, I work with individuals and also with tech startups. With my extensive knowledge of aging services I regularly handle issues involving housing, lifelong learning, and transportation.
In addition, I advise small businesses and startups working with older adults. By working with senior centers, Area Agencies on Aging, Older Americans Act, and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services I’m able to lend my expertise in the aging sector.
Innovator
In tune with emerging issues affecting aging and longevity, I blog and speak about elderly parents, improving brain health, strategies for older drivers, as well as policies affecting older adults.
My research with Hispanics in Philanthropy focused on managing chronic conditions and reducing risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease. Previously as a Senior Services America fellow, I researched independent and assisted living communities.
Earlier in my career, I gained significant experience working in the senior center environment. By working at a center I gained insight into adult education and community programs.
