Biography

Dr. Tina Kilaberia is an Assistant Professor at NYU Silver. Dr. Kilaberia’s research is focused on older adults. Her current projects include social isolation among older adults and their caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and elder mistreatment. Her recent work has been published in leading journals including The Gerontologist, Journal of Medical Internet Research, Muscle and Nerve, Journal of Interprofessional Care, Ethnicity and Health, The British Journal of Social Work, among others.

Prior to joining NYU Silver, Dr. Kilaberia was a post-doctoral fellow in healthy aging at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at the University of California - Davis Health. As part of a team, she was involved in a statewide evaluation of service expansion and technology implementation by 11 non-profit caregiver resource centers in California, a multi-year partnership project with the Family Caregiver Alliance in San Francisco, funded by the State of California. Other related postdoctoral work focused on multicultural family caregivers providing complex care in the home, caregivers to persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and national webinars for diverse caregivers and for researchers interested in this work (with AARP and Diverse Elders Coalition).

Prior to her postdoctoral work, Dr. Kilaberia spent nearly eight years as a resident in an urban retirement and assisted living community in Minneapolis serving up to 700 older adults daily across multiple care levels. Her work is rooted in this lived experience alongside older adults.

Dr. Kilaberia earned her PhD from the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, where she also earned her MSW in Human Services Management.
