Update: 2025-11-06
Description
Dr Rosie Ashworth, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.
In this blog, Rosie reflects on her journey from studying psychology to building a career in dementia research. What began as a plan to pursue clinical psychology shifted dramatically after a transformative placement working with older adults. She shares how that experience opened her eyes to the importance of older adult psychology, research, and collaboration with people with lived experience. Her story highlights how exposure, mentorship, and curiosity can shape unexpected and rewarding career paths in dementia research.
